<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tibor, post: 4832731, member: 73385&quot;]Should collectors try to add dated coins to their collections that are from the</p><p>B.C., pre Christian Era, I would recommend&nbsp; &quot;Dated Coins of Antiquity&quot; by</p><p>Edward E. Cohen. Well written and is an excellent guide when researching</p><p>these coins.</p><p>&nbsp; The earliest coin with a date from Western Europe are the Obols</p><p>And Denar&#039;s with the date 1204 A.D. in Roman numerals. The calendar system used at that time was introduced by Augusts Caesar in 38 B.C. The year 1204 would then translate to 1166 A.D. using our current calendar.</p><p>&nbsp;Alfonso VIII had these coins issued in the city of Toledo,Spain</p><p>celebrating the expulsion of the Arab community in the area.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
