thai-vic Pillar of the Community Thailand 1509 Posts	Posted 03/18/2015 03:10 am CAROLUS III? possibly and on the reverse ARAGON. Charles V King of Aragon (and a few other places!)? And he did have a beard. Edited by thai-vic 03/18/2015 03:11 am Report this Post to the Staff
Petrus Pillar of the Community Belgium 2895 Posts	Posted 03/18/2015 09:37 am Indeed strange coin. REX ARAGON ? Carolus III(I) or V ? This is a Charles from Italy: http://www.coinarchives.com/w/lotvi...c99b97c53fb5 I do not know if this Charles had some bussiness in Aragon Report this Post to the Staff
thai-vic Pillar of the Community Thailand 1509 Posts	Posted 03/18/2015 10:13 am Having had another look I think there is sufficient room on the edge for CAROLUS IIIII (as opposed to CAROLUS V). And, as Petrus pointed out, I also now see REX ARAGON on the reverse. Charles V (Holy Roman Emperor) did have connections with Italy, as well as Portugal, Spain, Austria and the Netherlands. This coin is a Netherlands coin featuring Charles V and I'm struck by the similarity of the portraits. Report this Post to the Staff

Veton Valued Member Spain 108 Posts	Posted 03/18/2015 12:31 pm You are right, he is Carolus V of Sicily (also V of Holy Roman-German empire, I of Spanish empire, IV of Naples .....).
