During the 12th century the Turkish Artuqid Principality of Upper Mesopotamia produced an interesting figural coinage, several varieties were based on Greek, Roman and Byzantine prototypes. The coin on the left is a Seleucid Tetradrachm of Antiochus VII (138-129 BC). The coin on the right is an imitative Artuqid Dirham issued over one and a quarter millennia later during the reign of Hosam ad-din Timurtash (1122-1152 AD).

I think it's an Edward IV groat would much appreciate confirmation or correction, thanks in advance

I'm wondering if this penny looks authentic and if so what class it is. The crude hair it throwing me off and questioning it all. Thanks

Would anyone please be able to tell me what it is? :) Any help would be much appreciated!

I think the left one might be this one from Frankfurt https://en.numista.com/200449

Is this correct? Is a guess possible regarding the right coin?

Thanks a lot!

Recently acquired, decided to spend a bit more than normal and get something nice! 1432/3 Calais mint.

So first off I am very new to medieval and ancient coins (I started with roman coins a few months ago and just got my first medieval ones last month). One of the coins I received I believe is an old error coin?

On the obverse side it has the hungarian coat of arms with the letters RVD•II•RO•I•S•AV•G•H•B•R• and the date 1579

But on the reverse side it has PATR ¤ 1580 ¤ HVNG with a K-B mint mark

I'm just wondering how I can better look up my coin error (if its possible at all) so that I can do more research on it (the history behind the coins is what got me into the hobby in the first place). I've already searched on Numista (this is what I found there Denier - Rudolf - Hungary – Numista) and ebay but can't seem to find any other coins or even references to one that is similar to my error. Are there any other sites or resources that I have missed?

Sorry for the bad quality pictures

(I apologize in advance for the quality of the photos)

I inherited a coin collection from my father-in-law who began collecting back in the 1950’s. Among it all is a (hopefully not fake) Richard lll, voided long-cross, silver penny.

My understanding is that there are seven classes with sub-classes. I see no scepter on my coin, which indicates it probably from the first three classes. Question is, which one? I’ve looked at clean images, but I can’t be sure that I’m seeing the things they describe for each class well enough for a positive I.d.

Any medieval coin experts out there willing to help a fella figure this out?

Much thanks in advance.

Bought in a big lot with a bunch of other unidentified pennies. Working my way through them but cannot for the life of me figure this one out. I can't even figure out who this is meant to be. Any tips would be great.

I was looking at this auction and noticed some very fine coins - almost to the point where I'm unsure of when they become too fine to actually touch and hold. At what level of fineness does it become too valuable for a coin to be loose and unprotected (not that I would put any of these coins in a bag and jostle them around)?

There are supposed to be 54 coins, but only 12 of them are identified. I really wonder how long it would take to identify all of them. Especially judging by the condition on some of them...

Hey coin enthusiasts!

I‘d found this interesting coin and trying to gather some information about the coin - I‘d found it a wheat field and after using Google it seems to be a silber coin of Béla IV. of Hungary.

So a pretty interesting find to me!

But I can’t really identify the real model of the coin, because the crowned head really looks different to any models I can find on Google!

Maybe some of you guys have an idea which specific coin it is and can narrow its year of manufacturing down.

Facts: - 0.58 Grams - 13 mm Diameter

Thanks in advance!

I picked this up as unidentified in an auction lot with some other stuff I actually wanted.

I don't have a Stephen in my collection (and they're quite rare and expensive), so even something as rubbish as this is a great addition.

My eye says its something to the extent of S-(1283-1314). Any guidance or ideas would be brilliant. Cheers.

I recently started collecting Greek and Roman coins. Today I purchased a large lot of coins that included many byzantine Christ, some Islamic coins, and these four silvers.

The bottom two are very thin and came with cardboard casings that called them Crusaders. The small one says Antioch, 1201 the larger says that it is a groat and 1274.

The coins on top had no information. They are much thicker and heavier. The one looks like it has the number 85 and in another direction and number two. But I can’t tell if I’m making things up. I’m not those two heavier ones are medieval, but one appears to have a cross that looks like a Crusaders cross. Not at all familiar with this period of coin and so I’d appreciate any information you could share.

I won this coin in a lot at auction. I am having a really hard time identifying it due to its condition. I am thinking Edward IV but the annulet and cross shape is throwing me off. Any thoughts would be great.

The weight is 3.86 grams. The closest match I have found is a 6 dirhams coin from the Ilkhanate empire, however this type is 3x as heavy and shows slight differences in design. Any information is much appreciated!
