My thoughts are that it may be from central Europe, possibly from one of the German city states, perhaps 11th or 12th century but this is based on stylistic similarities to some of the German bishopric coins of the same period.any help would be appreciated. * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34416 Posts	Posted 01/23/2018 8:46 pm Bob is right on (as always)--definitely medieval Spain. Not German and not Roman, although that is an interesting idea @crazyb0.
