<p>[QUOTE=&quot;panzerman, post: 3048724, member: 77704&quot;]The term &quot;ancient&quot; usually means any coinage struck from first known coins (620BC) to the Fall of Rome 410AD. The Dark Ages began in 410AD/ ended around 1400AD with the advent of the Renaissance. That would be the technical defination. As far as this forum goes, I love seeing all coins from the earliest EL coinage to present day. But, I agree with those who said that all coinage is OK, as long as its &quot;hammered&quot;. The &quot;milled&quot; coins can be discussed/ shown off on World/ or USA forums.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie31" alt=":cat:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Here is a modern hammered coin.....</p><p>AV 1/8 Mohur dated AH1318= 1900AD Haiderabad Mint</p><p>Mir Mahbub Ali Khan II 1868-1911</p><p>Hyderabad</p><p>This family owned the Mughal Empire AV 1000 Mohur struck by Jahangir.
