Medieval Pillar of the Community 3772 Posts	Posted 12/23/2014 05:34 am To the best of my knowledge the first one is not a coin but rather a so called 'belly dancer's token'. The second one looks like a pre-modern/ late medieval jeton or token, but I can't place it. Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16806 Posts	Posted 12/23/2014 06:26 am Correct; neither are coins. The first is, as medieval intimated, a "jewellery imitation" which rather crudely copies old Ottoman gold and silver coins. I would also concur that the second piece is a mediaeval jeton. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 12/25/2014 07:54 am It's what's known as an English "standing king under canopy" jeton, with a cross-bottony reverse. They're dated to the late 14th century. http://www.ukdfd.co.uk/ukdfddata/sh...t=981&cat=82 Report this Post to the Staff
