<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tibor, post: 2972359, member: 73385&quot;]Dating of European coins using a calendar system that</p><p>is most similar to the one we use today started in 1234 AD</p><p>in Roskilde, Denmark. The next coins were dated 1372 by</p><p>Aachen, Germany and Schoonvorst-Sichem, Netherlands.</p><p>The first collectible date would be from Aachen, 1374.</p><p><br /></p><p>First dated copper coin, 1481 from Brabant.</p><p><br /></p><p>First dated gold was 1436 from Cologne, Mainz, Palatinate</p><p>and Trier. This series of coins were minted through 1438,</p><p>some common and others very rare.&nbsp; A few were dated</p><p>after this but regularly issued did not start until 1490 in Germany</p><p>and 1487 for the rest of Europe.</p><p><br /></p><p>Panzerman&#039;s&nbsp; beautiful gold ducat from 1497 has two varieties.</p><p>the Levinson catalogue number for his is&nbsp; 1-362a.</p><p><br /></p><p>Austria struck a dated gold 7 dukat, but it was struck after 1500.</p><p><br /></p><p>Alde&#039;s coin is dated (14)75. On the second image to the left</p><p>of the star an upside down V and L are the date.</p><p><br /></p><p>Many ancient coins have regnal dates. The establishment of</p><p>an empire,city,state or ruler. The Greek alphabet is used </p><p>commonly. Byzantine coins especially copper/bronze coins</p><p>do this as well but they use Roman numerals. Arabic coins</p><p>minted from the mid 600&#039;s onward have dates but their numbers</p><p>are difficult to read.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
