I really like how the number 8 looks like two links of a chain. As do I. One thing I like about early dated coins is how they show the development of numerals- especially the fours, the lambda-shaped sevens, the seven-like fives and the occasional hourglass-shaped eight. |

Yes numisma, the evolution of number shapes is interesting. I have done a little bit of effort on the letter "A" here: http://goccf.com/t/264653#2236385Some day, I'll get around to doing more letters and/or numbers... "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Love that 1511 Denar Thanks -- with all the Polish/Lithuanian coins, I thought a denar or two might break the monotony. With that in mind -- Hungary -- 1508 denar:   |

I hope we can keep moving along.
I can post 1507-1504, and 1502-1501, if required. I wonder if we'll get stuck at 1503 or 1500, before we even reach the 1490s? (I have almost nothing for this thread before 1501.) |

With your help, I suspect that we can make it all the way back to 1491, just as was done for both the first and second threads. It seems that one year is a particularly tough year.

Good to see progress over the Holiday. There may be a speed bump or two, but I have no doubt we will get to 1491 as we have before. |
