    1402-i5a-2.jpg
    A mixed date, Roman numerals and letters. CCCC SECUNDO
    This date starts a run medium sized crosses. Earlier coins had
    full crosses.

    Interesting that those say CCCC XVIII (412), for example, instead of M CCCC XVIII (1412).

    I’ve seen plenty of early dated coins that used only the last two digits of the date, but not the last three.

    Sorry to hear it, @expat. Hope things improve quickly.

    I will say that you set the timing of this game up perfectly, with a few days between each new round (century). I think it has worked better like that.

    I think concentrating on some coins is actually the best thing at the moment rather than dwelling on other things. Lost my nephew aged 18 yesterday and this morning my Mother was diagnosed with lung cancer at 85 years young. So, not the best couple of days. Thank you all for carrying on this game, there has been some wonderful examples posted. Please carry on I am still watching.
