The most of these coins are from Hungary and Ottoman Empire (Hungary was ruled by the Ottoman Empire from 1541 to 1699). I can help you to identify! ;)
I like that Trajan Decius - Pannonia too!

Lot 3:
- large copper coin is an Ottoman Empire copper Mangir AH1099/1687 (you can see the numbers!). Two copper mangir = 1 silver akce if I am right.
- first row second from the right is an Ottoman Empire silver Akce.
- others are Hungarians (coppers are contemporary fake coins)

What a hoot! I thought that you must have uploaded the wrong photos when I first saw the CD. Nice packaging for a great group of coins.

Finally had some time last night to sit down and start the work of identifying the coins. As already stated, almost all of them are Hungarian. Fortunately, Numista has most Hungarian coins going back to about 900. Charles Robert (Karoly Robert) 1308-1342, parvus (reduced Denar) Obv: Crowned bust facing, R K in fields Rev: Eagle   Ref: http://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces59936.htmlIstvan II (Stephen II) 1116-1131, Denar Obv: Large cross with wedges at arms, pellets at each angle Rev: Small cross within two circles   Ref: http://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces33700.htmlEdited by Finn235

Another nice set. And, actually, when you think about it, an "oldies greatest hits" is kind of apropos...certainly more so than Segas Superstars.

I agree another nice lot, though some don't fall into the medieval coin era. Technically the Medieval era ended at 1500 but we have extended it until 1600. I have seen coins listed on ebay as Medieval and dated to the mid 1700's which really should be listed as modern coins. |

Another interesting lot. You could use either Huszar's old book or Frynas' new book to investigate how many monarchs are represented.

Thanks! This latest lot, like the last one was about 80-90 coins, for a little less than $1 each. It did contain a lot of medieval coins, but most of them are pretty rough; the handful from the 1700s were among the best, however.
Still, that 1511 denar might be the star of this newest lot; still educating myself on rarity and value for these coins.
