<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GeorgeM, post: 2166342, member: 28550&quot;]I&#039;m trying to figure out what on earth this is. It&#039;s obviously hammered, and appears to date from the Middle Ages to Renaissance era. The obverse shows a bare headed &amp; mustachioed man facing to the right. The reverse shows a crest topped by a crown.</p><p><br /></p><p>I struck out on English monarchs. Odds are that this is Polish or Lithuanian or from a Duchy so obscure that I would never even think to look it up. Any ideas where to start on ID&#039;ing this?</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/georgemo/17807014693" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/georgemo/17807014693" rel="nofollow">https://www.flickr.com/photos/georgemo/17807014693</a></p><p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/georgemo/18239842428" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/georgemo/18239842428" rel="nofollow">https://www.flickr.com/photos/georgemo/18239842428</a></p><p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/georgemo/18241466969" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/georgemo/18241466969" rel="nofollow">https://www.flickr.com/photos/georgemo/18241466969</a></p><p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/georgemo/18427649895" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/georgemo/18427649895" rel="nofollow">https://www.flickr.com/photos/georgemo/18427649895</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s a handy guide to British monarchs on coins (for future reference):</p><p><a href="http://youthdebates.org/forums/media/english-monarchs-and-their-coins.38/full" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://youthdebates.org/forums/media/english-monarchs-and-their-coins.38/full" rel="nofollow">http://youthdebates.org/forums/media/english-monarchs-and-their-coins.38/full</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I also found these sites handy in finding out who ISN&#039;T on my coin:</p><p><a href="https://www.yorkcoins.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.yorkcoins.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.yorkcoins.com/</a></p><p><a href="http://englishhammered.com/home.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://englishhammered.com/home.html" rel="nofollow">http://englishhammered.com/home.html</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
