Struck under Hetoum I (1226–1270) 

Obverse: Lion with a cross and medieval Armenian inscriptions, which read: Hetoum, King of all Armenians

Reverse: King Hetoum and his wife, Zabel; the inscriptions read: By the will of God

Despot Djuradj Branković, the first one is from the medieval fortress Smederevo, Serbia

the East west split happened in 395. The medieval era started in 476 with the fall of western rome. Byzantine empire didnt fall until 1453 (the end of the Medieval era to some) that being said the Byzantine empire spent the vast majority of its life in the Medieval era, so why is it always categorized as ancient? Unless they are seeing it as an unbroken continuation of Rome itself (still feels like a strech)

Can anybody identify which Edward I penny it is? I am new to this so I found it quite difficult to identify, because there looks to be a breast mark unique to class 5, but the cross looks to be cross pattee. I am using the coin searcher by Rod Blunt for my identification.

Jeton de Compte au Dauphin and Nuremberg Jeton

Been carrying this

After several months, I finally got my hands on an Angevins penny depicting Empress Matilda!

This example was minted in Bristol (Turchil of Bristol), and it has been fractured and repaired. But with her coins being so hard to find I didn't want to be picky. Most of her features are there too!

The last two photos are my current collection of Anarchy coins, which also includes a Stephen penny and halfpenny.

I'm so happy to have this dream coin in my collection at last. 😊

trying to look into more than just, it was a sheet of silver that was hammered into a mold. and more how often was the mold replaced (i know its 10,000 hits average but i have no source) how was the security detail in the mint? and what not

It’s apparently the portcullis 1566 halfgroat but im not 100% sure

this coin has Charles II and at same time date 1706 (king Philip V). I see in some other post in Talk Coins that this is not a legit coin. Which is your opinion?

I’m thinking it’s a Henry VII half groat but I’m not very good with these so any help would be appreciated.

Got some new English halfpennies from Kings Stephen and Henry II (Tealby), a farthing of unknown mint (but also a Tealby) and a Scottish halfpenny from King William I 'the Lion'
