English silver penny. Short Cross, Henry III (1216-47), moneyer Henri of Canterbury (detector find):   These coins are very hard to attribute - I originally thought it was from the reign of King John!

Nice one @numis. Here is another uniface Austrian Pfennig. It was issued under the authority of King Rudolf IV in the mid-14th Century. The design elements are a rider on horseback to the right holding a shield, with a clover below.

Here is a so-called Saracen Denar from Hungary. It was issued by King Louis I and since I bought it, the timing on when it was issued has evolved a bit. I believe that the latest thinking is 1258 to 1371 for this one.

This Hungarian Denar dates to just after that Golden Horde Dirham that I posted over in the 7th How Far Back Can We Go thread. It was minted at Buda, on the western bank of the Danube.

Here is another uniface Austrian Pfennig. There is a portrait, perhaps of King Albrecht III, facing right as the main design element. Looks like this is the first time I've posted this coin to CCF.
