Message:: [QUOTE="sand, post: 24708184, member: 118540"]Hello [USER=89857]@Joe Campbell[/USER]. Welcome to the world of ancient coins and medieval coins.There are multiple definitions of "ancient" and "medieval" floating around. For me, "ancient" is 499 AD or earlier, and "medieval" is 500 AD to 1499 AD, and "modern" is 1500 AD to the present. I also like to call 500 AD to 999 AD the "Dark Ages".Your coin 2 is similar to my Hungary Bela II silver denar 1131 AD to 1141 AD, but it's not the exact same coin type. I'm not an expert in this coin type, but if I remember correctly, there are multiple Bela II (and perhaps other rulers) coin types that looked similar. I learned this sort of thing, by shopping for ancient coins and medieval coins for years, during which time I saw multiple coins of the type, and I became interested in acquiring a coin of this type, and therefore I did some research on this coin type. You can search <a href="http://www.acsearch.info" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.acsearch.info" rel="nofollow">www.acsearch.info</a> for the following key words, and perhaps some of the search results will look more like your coin type :"Bela II" denar[ATTACH=full]1578915[/ATTACH]Hungary. Bela II. Silver Denar. Minted 1131 AD to 1141 AD. Diameter 13 mm. Weight 0.36 grams.[/QUOTE]
