This coin? https://coins.ha.com/itm/colonials/..ption-071515

I find it hard to believe Heritage didn't know its history. Oh look, there it is, in our own auction https://www.acsearch.info/search.ht...=usd&order=3

But so many coins have unhelpful bits of the provenance missing.

Yes it doesn't look like Sagdeeva 277, but there are enough similar dated 758 https://search.zeno.ru/index.php?v=...758&ymax=758

Birdibek also dates it to 75x or 760-3 (and a random 773 posthumous issue), so if it ends 8, it must be 758.

My last for a bit. After this we're into the long reign of Jani Beg, and you have to be very enthusiastic to collect all of his coins

Berdi Beg Dirham, 759/1358. Just Sultan / Mohammed Berdi / Bek Khan. Mint Saray / al-Jadida / 759 (Sagdeeva 277).

Yes it is the rosette type, although it does really look like 762.

Perhaps it is 752 like this https://www.zeno.ru/showphoto.php?photo=65781 but because of the way the flan is cut off, half of the 7 and half of the 5 look like a 6. Like this:

I do wonder what the actual general opinion is on this point.


Philip of Spain would be seen as King of England about as much as Camilla is seen as Queen i.e. not at all. That is not just because the public don't like them - but because they are/were not the 'proper' monarch. To be honest, 99 out of 100 English people wouldn't even know Philip ever was king. As far as we're concerned, it's Henry VIII - Edward VI - Mary I - Elizabeth I. There's no need for Philip.

The same is not true for William III, whose claim came from marriage to Mary II. He was invited to rule instead of launching an Armada (and was not a Catholic, which made him popular in England in those days). Importantly, he ended up ruling on his own for 7 years, so he gets a spot on all the timelines.

If we're being really picky about this, the AD dates we're using don't allow for the switch from the Julian to Gregorian calendars either. For example, I have an English coin dated 1645 that was struck in what we would call 1646. It certainly doesn't allow for the fact that this switch happened in 1751 in England (when Jan-Mar did not exist) but 1918 in Russia.

Can you try to point out where the date is supposed to be?


Yes the date is at the bottom on the reverse. To make it particularly hard to find,it is a mixture of numbers and words. What appears to be the bottom row has V (7) and 'one'. The actual bottom row (which you can just about see) has another V (7), making 771. Like this https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces302895.html

Thank you.

Elizabeth I again, 1561. A threehalfpence, designed to give change of halfpence when there weren't any halfpennies.

Here's a 1562. There aren't too many dated English coins.earlier than this and even fewer milled coins.

I think there might still be enough silver in Gallienus's coins for bronze disease not to be a problem.

AFAIK this is the first Russian dated coin issue (again, there are several subtypes, but the 2x2 says this is KG 114 so that's what I went with in this description).


There only seem to be two options for HO RD - KG 113 and 114. They have the same obverse (die 2) which is actually quite hard to tell on this coin. But the reverse is definitely die 2, which is KG 114.

Die 2 was also used on KG115, which I have. It is marked B HO PE; i.e. V NO RE:
V NO = in Novgorod.
R = 100
E = 5
(7)105-5508 = 1597.

Feodor Ivanovich Kopek, 1597

Novgorod. Silver, 0.72g. Horseman with a spear on a galloping horse, right; B (HO) PE (in Novgorod, 1597). Tsar and Gr-and Pr(ince F)yodor Iva-(no)vich (of all Rus) (KG 115).
