Expecting to see some genuine coins from Sigismund (Hungary) today. As warning to all collectors, here a fake:   Contemporary (ie late 14th to early 15th century) forgery of a Denar of Sigismund (1387-1437) |

  AR Triple Dirhem AHxx2 minted in Bagdad from Ghiyath al din Ahmad ibn Oweys (*), of the Jalaraids from Iraq - cf.Mitchiner p.262 Obverse: Kalima Reverse inscription contains "Ahmad", "Bagdad" and "two" (rest of date off flan). (*) Ghiyath al din Ahmad ibn Oweys ruled the Jalaraid realms in AH784-796 and again in AH807-813 (ie between 1382 and 1410), unfortunately that leaves two years namely AH792 and AH812 in which this coin can have been minted. |

  Ceitil from John I of Portugal - not fully attributed Obverse: +AD...S around crowned IHNS Reverse: legend around cross made from the arms of Portugal The coin is either from the interregnum (1383-1385) during which John I was regent or from his reign proper (1385-1433). Would love to claim the first, but so far have not been able to find a reference which would allow me to nail a more detailed attribution down. Edited by Medieval

Nice one 'Petrus'. Surprised to see this, was rather expecting to see a Sigismund. Since no-one has shown one, I throw one in:   AR Denar of Sigismund (1387-1437), King of Hungary - minted from 1390 on, Huszar#76 Obverse: +*REGIS VNGARIE ETC around arms Reverse: MON.SIG ISMVNDI around double cross |

Less than half an hour to go with this decade, so let me throw another coin in from an important ruler:   Ar Double Dirhem minted in AH785 (ie 13/03/1383-01/03/1384) by Timur Gurkan (1370-1405), the founder of the Timurid dynasty (modern day Iran) - Mitchiner#1884 Obverse: Kalima followed by "785" Reverse: Inscription contains "Suyurghatmish" and "Timur Gurkan" This coin was minted by Timur Gurkan (aka Tamerlane) while he still nominally recognised the overlordship of Suyurghatmish Jagatai. |

  Prager Groschen minted in Kuttenberg for Wenceslas III (or IV), King of Bohemia 1378-1419 Some accounts have him as Wenceslas IV because there was another Wencelas who ruled only part of Bohemia during a time of political uproar, but that one didn't issue any Prager Groschen. Obverse: Inscription around lion of Bohemia rampant left. Reverse: Inscription in two cirles "...LAVS:TERTIVS.." around crown And what would the inscriptions read on a better coin? Obverse: GROSSI PRAGENSES Reverse: DEI GRATIA REX:BOEMIE around +WENCESLAVS:TERTIVS |
