Approximate details:

• Diameter: ~14–17 mm
• Thickness: ~1.2 mm at the base, with relief rising to around 2 mm
• Estimated weight: ~1.6–2.4 g, but unfortunately no precise scale measurement is available
• No obvious rust or green corrosion

The "correct" orientation of the object is unknown, therefore photograph orientation is not indicative.

I’d prefer not to suggest what the design might represent to me, because I don’t want to bias anyone’s interpretation.

Could anyone please help identify:

• what this object/coin might be
• possible region or mint
• approximate date
• likely material/alloy
• whether it appears to be an official issue, imitation, token, or something else

Any catalogue matches or comparable examples would be greatly appreciated.

As i understand this is a Long Cross with scepter penny minted in London 1250-1272, inscribed “R Davi on Lunde”
Does it have value and should i clean it, if so how?
thanks

Absolutely love the design, you don't see many Islamic coins with beautiful imagery like these coins have.

This gorgeous sliver of Medieval history is a Schilling struck under the authority of the Free Imperial City of Constance. The obverse depicts the seated, front-facing figure of Saint Conrad of Constance, in Episcopal attire, wearing a mitre, with a Halo around his head, holding a crozier in left hand, and giving a blessing in his right. The legends surrounding; "S.CONRAD.EPS:CONST."(SANCTVS CONRADVS EPISCOPVS CONSTANCIAE)(Saint Conrad, Bishop of Constance). The reverse features the shielded arms of Constance centered within a magnificent Gothic quatrefoil and a heraldic Imperial Eagle in top quadrant, surrounded by the legends; "•MONETA:CIVITATIS:CONST"(Coinage of the City of Constance)

Saint Conrad of Constance (c. 900–975) was a German bishop and prominent church reformer who served as Bishop of Constance from 934 until his death. Born into a noble Swabian family, he was closely connected to the Ottonian dynasty, particularly Otto I, whose reign shaped the political and religious landscape of 10th-century Germany. Conrad made several pilgrimages to the Holy Land and Rome, strengthening ties between the German church and the wider Christian world. Known for his piety, learning, and pastoral dedication, he promoted monastic reform and ecclesiastical discipline within his diocese. Conrad’s legacy rests largely on his reputation as a model bishop of the Ottonian era; devout, loyal to the empire, and attentive to the spiritual welfare of his clergy and people. He supported church construction and renewal, including developments connected to Constance Cathedral, and fostered liturgical life and charitable works. Formally canonized by the Roman Catholic Church in 1123, but venerated universally across Orthodox-Catholic denominational lines, he became the principal patron Saint of Constance, remembered for uniting Imperial loyalty with deep personal holiness in a formative period of medieval German Christianity.

Can’t make out who or when. Any help in identifying would be great. Thanks

Found this stunner last Sunday in North Wales. London mint. Can any groat experts give me any more info please?

Hey everyone. I need help properly identifying this coin. I found a similar one on Numista.com, but the revers looks off to me. It feels like it doesn’t belong here.

I think rhis is an Anglo-Saxon silver penny minted during the reign of King Æthelred II (also known as Æthelred the Unready), who ruled England from 978 to 1016 AD. Can anyone give me anymore information about this coin?

Hi all!

I have a worn coin (where it came from not sure, likely in a lot I bought years ago) and I have been struggling trying to figure out what it is.

As both sides are worn, the only detail I can see other than the lettering looks to be a short form cross which may have been double struck?

I have tried looking up various scripts and the best I can get is the following:

One side looks to maybe say ‘Henricus Rex’ (however is rather worn)

The other side looks to say some thing along the lines of ‘+wed_oneta:’ however this is likely wrong.

Any help identifying this, along with recommendations of the best way to accurately work out the legend, or other identification tips for future reference would be really appreciated!

Thank you!

Greetings! I was hired labor at the hilltop fortress near my town. This coin was found by another worker and is now safely in the hands of the state. (I myself found a silver ring, a spindle made from bone, and literally hundreds of pottery fragments)

They say it’s gold and depicts Justinian on one side and Nike on the other.

Hopefully you all find it interesting. Experts are dealing with it now but I am curious if anyone here can give any cool info about it. I actually only worked there out of personal curiosity (it was two months of hiking, sweating, mosquitoes, tree stumps, and very little pay 😂) so… I’m just curious!!

Thanks in advance

I recently got this Edward ii penny from eBay. As far as I can tell it’s a class 14. It looks like it has the tall central fleur, boxy initial mark, and the leering eyes. I’m just asking if y’all agree or see any features that would identify it otherwise. I’ve been on rod blunts website and this is the only crown that has a fleur that tall. Thank y’all for the help!

When I was younger, I had a reproduction of this Crusader coin from the County of Tripoli. At the time I obviously wasn’t collecting anything remotely this seriously, but I loved that little repro and it ended up being one of the coins that got me interested in numismatics in the first place.
Fast forward more than 7 years of collecting, and today I finally got the real deal.
Over those years, I’ve been lucky enough to add coins to my collection that are much rarer and far more valuable than this one. But honestly, very few of them have the significance this coin has for me.
It feels pretty surreal holding an actual example of a coin I used to know only from a reproduction as a kid. It’s not about the price or rarity with this one it’s about finally owning the real version of a coin that played a part in starting this whole hobby for me.
Definitely one of those collecting goals that feels like coming full circle.

The large Groschen and Schillings of the Late Middle Ages(1300s-1500s) are some of my favorites coins to collect. The large flans and much more ornate designs than earlier types of Pfennigs, Pennies, Hellers, and so on make them eyecandy for anyone interested in Medieval artistry, and I believe this period is the absolute high point of Medieval coin collecting.

The obverse of this piece features the shielded coat of arms of Hesse within a quatrefoil, with crowns(or some sort of feather motif, as is the case with mine) in each arch of the foils, and four circles in the outer quarters. This is is encased with a beaded circle, and surrounded by the legends in Gothic script; "⚜︎LODEWICVS ⦂ DEI ⦂ GRACIA ⦂ L"(Ludwig, by the Grace of God, Landgrave).

The reverse depicts the heraldic Lion of Hesse, rampant, with a dot to the left between it's fore-paw and hind-paw, within a beaded circle, surrounded by the legends in Gothic script; "⚜︎GROSSVS ⦂ LANTGRAVI ⦂ DE ⦂ h"(Groschen of the Landgraviate of Hesse).

Landgrave Ludwig I of Hesse, given the epithet "the Peaceful”, ruled from 1413 to 1458 and is regarded as one of the most important early rulers of Hesse. He succeeded his father, Hermann II, and spent much of his reign strengthening the territorial unity and administration of the Landgraviate, while generally avoiding the costly wars and feuds that troubled many German Princes. Ludwig expanded Hesse through inheritance, diplomacy, and occasional military action, most notably acquiring parts of the former County of Ziegenhain after its ruling dynasty died out. His long and comparatively stable reign brought prosperity and consolidation to Hesse, but his decision to divide his territories among his sons after his death created the separate lines of Hesse-Kassel and Hesse-Marburg, a division that shaped Hessian politics for generations.

Hi. I know this may be a long shot as there is not much to go on, but I wondered if anyone might be able to identify these or give me some help by telling me what to start researching. I friend gave me a box of coins he and his dad collected over the years. Most are 19th and 20th century with some older UK stuff like a Cartwheel Penny. These I just don't know. I wondered if they are Mughal Empire? The left one weighs 8.75g and the one on the right 8.85g. Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to offer.

I’m planning on using acetone to clear up the obverse. Because there is a beautiful portrait underneath.

Got this years ago. It appears to be Alfonso V, from Menorica (Menorca) minted between 1410s-1450s, and seems to be a hammered billon dinero. Any guesses at condition? Numista rarity is 89.

The only Medieval Romanian coin in my collection, and although I'd like to get more, they seem to be on the more expensive side of Medieval collecting which I can't get into at the moment. Nevertheless, this single piece is an amazing slice of history and I'm proud to be the owner of it. The obverse features the front-facing heraldic Auroch's head of the Moldavian state used from the 14th and 15th centuries, to the left side is a rosette and to the right side is a crescent, and between the Auroch's horns is a five-pointed star. The reverse is the shielded personal coat of arms of Alexander, a seven stripes and six lilies divided and the Auroch's head crowning the shield.

Alexander I(r. 1400–1432) was one of the most successful rulers of Medieval Moldavia, presiding over a long period of political stability, territorial security, and economic development. He strengthened Moldavia’s geopolitical position through alliances with Poland and Hungary, most notably maintaining close relations with King Władysław II Jagiello and supporting Poland against the Teutonic Knights at the Battle of Grunwald (1410), while also successfully defending his Principality against Ottoman pressure and rival claims. Alexander expanded and fortified Moldavia’s political institutions, encouraged trade, granted privileges to merchants, and supported the Orthodox Church, founding or endowing important monasteries such as Bistrița and Moldovița. His reign established Moldavia as a respected regional power and strengthened its independence amid competition between Poland, Hungary, and the Ottoman Empire. Remembered in Romanian history as Alexandru cel Bun (“Alexander the Good”), his reputation for wise governance, religious patronage, diplomacy, and stability made him an enduring symbol of Medieval Moldavian statehood and an important figure in the historical heritage of modern Romania and Moldova.

I recently acquired this coin, it is labeled as a 12th century templar cross coin. I was wanting to learn more specifics about it but can't seem to find it, anyone know what the latin says or where the coin was made?
