<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tibor, post: 8176579, member: 73385&quot;][USER=44633]@spirityoda[/USER]&nbsp; You asked about coins with dates that end with &#039;61. I just</p><p>checked Bob Levinson&#039;s book on early dated European coins. Only one</p><p>issuing city, Groningen, Northern Netherlands. It&#039;s size comes close to</p><p>a U.S. quarter. Only 4-6 are known. The date will be in Roman numerals.</p><p>Your best bet will be Islamic coins. As with U.S. coins, the issuing</p><p>mint will determine price. These will take you back thru either 761 A.D.</p><p>or 661 A.D. Not my area of expertise. The date 561 A.D. will be a coin</p><p>from the the Byzantine Empire. You will have to figure out the Regnal</p><p>date using Roman numerals. With the way their calendar worked,</p><p>either 560/61 or 561/62. Different denonimations and officina (workshops)</p><p>and of course mints. Going earlier you will have to study Roman coinage</p><p>for which there are several references and very knowledgeable forum</p><p>members.</p><p>The date referenced in the Levinson book is 1461.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
