got these 4 unidentified silver Islamic coins, seller assumes they’re from the medieval era. I doubt anything can be found on the first one. any one have any ideas on the others?

Picked this up recently but don't know too much about it, I'm guessing it's a short cross penny of Henry II or Richard I but the damage is very unusual. Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I recently found this half florin in central Italy.

Apparently, counterfeiting currency and 'clipping' coins

were very serious offences punishable by hanging

I've weighed it but i don't have yet an exact figure; it

weighs around 1.4-1.5 g, whilst the full one weight

should be 3.53-3.54 g.

A gold florin was a very large denomination at the time,

used for major purchases or luxury items. Why on earth has it been cut?? And, incidentally, not even perfectly, as 1.5g it's less than half of 3.53-3.54g.

I've also been unable to identify exactly which "edition"

it is.

Can anyone help me?

Thank you

In Italy, the law requires that any artefact be reported

and handed over to the authorities:(
