<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NOS, post: 5334102, member: 2098&quot;]There is no 100% consensus but I go with the Medieval Era ending in 1485, a popular cut off time that precedes Columbus by just a few years. In terms of when it started, scholars often refer to the fall of Rome in 476 as the start of the &quot;Middle Ages&quot; or Medieval Era: <a href="https://www.history.com/topics/middle-ages/middle-ages" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.history.com/topics/middle-ages/middle-ages" rel="nofollow">https://www.history.com/topics/middle-ages/middle-ages</a>.</p><p><br /></p><p>The coin from the OP, while it is cool, is post-Renaissance by nearly 50 years and is a good two centuries removed from being Medieval. It is rather out of place with the theme of the thread considering it was minted in 1694; many would argue that it is in fact modern.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
