My next 14th century Polish denar is this one of Casimir the Great (1333-1370), which shows how far afield the style of the Edwards of England's pennies were being imitated (Krakow being about 1000 miles east of London)   Edited by tdziemia

@tdz, that obv looks a bit like a skull and crossbones!

Here is a mid 13th Century Denar from the German Archbishopric of Cologne:   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

A quick dip south to Ferrara Italy again, where the Este family has taken leadership of the city-state, now a margraviate instead of a Republic. Here is a denar of Obizzo d'Este (1344-1361) with a very elaborate gothic F (and the rest of FERARIA surrounding)   Edited by tdziemia

That is true @tdz, but with perhaps a bit of silver shaving going on, the peripheral inscriptions are missing in places. Here is one that seems to have all the metal left intact from mid-13th Century Denier of the French Commune of Auvergne. It was struck at the mint in Rion (hence the rev inscription RIOMENSIS. I'm pretty sure that I haven't posted this one on CCF previously.   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Pretty sure that this Serbian Dinar is in scope for the thread. It was issued between 1243 and 1279 AD on behalf of King Stefan Uros I:   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

 I need a Serbian dinar like that for my saints theme, though you almost can;t tell all the Saint Stephens without a scorecard: Metz has the New Testament Stephen, whereas Hungary and Serbia have honored medieval royal Stephens by making them saints. Despite the confusing name, I think the Serbian dinar is supposed to be on par with a Venetian grosso? Speaking of Hungary, here is a Polish coin with a Hungarian coat of arms  , this denar of Louis/Lajos/Ladislas of Anjou, who was king of both Hungary and Poland in the second half of the 1300s:   And, I've got spence's Auvergne coin of a couple days ago at #150 for the thread.  I doubt I have more than 10 left, so we might need some help to get up to 200. Edited by tdziemia
