[QUOTE="Esrever, post: 8277127, member: 118925"]Hi All, What are your opinions on these two items which were part of a large auction lot that I won recently. Francois I Teston, 3 cm diameter, weight 9.4812 g. [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/gh0xN7C.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/ukRbzPx.jpg[/IMG] It is hammered but the design looks all kinds of wrong with the bust being especially comical. I don't have much experience with French hammered coins so I thought i'd best check before I consign it to the bad reproductions box. Chinese Numismatic charm, 6 cm diameter, weight 41.3829 g [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/CpBzYNV.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/PIzxY0u.jpg[/IMG] It had an old ticket claiming it was from 1150 AD. Can anyone translate it? Many thanks for your help[/QUOTE]
