turtleoverhead Pillar of the Community Australia 585 Posts	Posted 12/15/2011 02:05 am Brevnov Monastery (Czech: Břevnovský klášter) is a Benedictine monastery in Břevnov, Prague. It was founded by Prince Boleslav II and Saint Adalbert, bishop of Prague in 993 AD. Here is my Denar of Boleslav II, funny thing, suspiciously similar to a penny of Ethelred II.

biggfredd Rest in Peace United States 9104 Posts	Posted 12/16/2011 7:57 pm so the coin is a mirror image as shown first? Report this Post to the Staff
turtleoverhead Pillar of the Community Australia 585 Posts	Posted 12/16/2011 9:39 pm Yes. At that times, only a few people could read and write and obviously the die maker wasn't one of them. He just blindly copied a coin design without thinking. Report this Post to the Staff

biggfredd Rest in Peace United States 9104 Posts	Posted 12/19/2011 02:45 am Looks like James ___ at 11 o'clock. Could they be significant signatures? Report this Post to the Staff
Bacchus2 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2891 Posts	Posted 12/19/2011 02:54 am I don't know - I had assumed it was a depiction of the writings of the original charter for setting up the University. But I hadn't researched it. Good spot with "James" though.

MathieuMa Pillar of the Community France 1591 Posts	Posted 12/19/2011 04:27 am I like that last one very much as well :) turtleoverhead : are you joking ? Are all those coins copied mirrored ? (or some, or some are circulating counterfeits ?) Report this Post to the Staff
turtleoverhead Pillar of the Community Australia 585 Posts	Posted 12/19/2011 07:48 am Yes, this coins Ref. C123 are all mirrored. Report this Post to the Staff
biggfredd Rest in Peace United States 9104 Posts	Posted 12/19/2011 08:29 am I find that fascinating. An engraver so ignorant that he didn't know the die has to be the reverse of the finished product. Report this Post to the Staff
