Since this thread will run for a few months (at hopefully not stop dead in it's tracks), plenty chance to buy a Roman coin to post. Here something different which started to be minted around those times:   It is a jeton, the so called "Venus Penny". This particular type was minted in the 'Low Countries' (aka Netherlands) between the 1490s and into the 1550s. Various different legends were used, all of them ficticious. Reference to this particular one is Mitchiner#829-830. |

Interesting, which of those references nails it down to 1497? Is there an online reference? Would be nice if I could narrow the time-frame for some of my remaining Hungarian coins, for three of them it might be handy. Huszar (my main reference) has yours down to 1490-1502, but he does not specify the mintmasters.

Thanks, yes it works - I do have Rethy and Huszar, of the two Huszar is the more up-to-date one but there has been other research as well, so thanks for the link.

Also,there is a message board for ancient and medieval coinage. Two people that know are really good with medieval Hungarian coinage call themselves quadrans and Stkp.

Before we end this decade let me throw in another jeton:   This was called the "Ship Penny" and like the one posted above was minted from the 1490s to the 1550s, but this is from Nuremberg which produced copious amounts of jetons/rechenpfennige. Reference for this one is Mitchiner#1156+ |

I wanted a coin from Constantinople during its Islamic era and as close as possible date-wise to its conquest by the Ottomans. As a collector of Roman coins I also thought it'd be appropriate to get at least one coin from the guys that finally defeated the Roman Empire. Bayezid II, Ottoman Empire AR Akce Obv: Sultan's name in Arabic surrounded by border of dots Rev: "Glorious victory / Constantinople" in Arabic, legend surrounded by border of dots Mint: Constantinople (struck 1481/ AH 886) Ref: Pere 86 (rev is the left and obv is right)  Edited by VisigothKing

Nice one, hope to see more of your coins in the following days etc. I'll have an Akche to contribute at the beginning of the 15th century.
