<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Milesofwho, post: 5362657, member: 91469&quot;]My first thread, a little over three years ago, was about a penny of King John from 1205-09 minted in Winchester, which had a moneyer by the name of Miles. At the same time in Oxford, there was another Miles. John is the only monarch to have any moneyers named Miles, and those two are the only ones. Thus, my three-year saga has ended.[ATTACH=full]1227774[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1227775[/ATTACH] The abbreviated mint name on the reverse is spelled OSCE instead of the modern equivalent Ox. I have actually visited Oxford before, and the Ashmolean has a display showing various coins struck in Oxford. On a different tangent, I have not come up with many ancients this year, instead focusing on some world coins and banknotes. I’ll eventually post those and link them here for those interested. If anyone has any other John coins, please post them! I don’t think I’ve ever seen a penny collection based around moneyers before.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
