Walking Back In Time From 1600 To Antiquity By Decades (V3.0)

I'm in the same situation without dated coin for the decade. And I have only one Golden Horde coin which shall fit the date range - this is a late dang of Tokhtamysh khan from Saray al-Jadida mint Sagdeeva# 437.

This type was minted with the dates 792 and 796 (1390 and 1394), but my coin has a star on the place where a date shall be. So, let's suppose it was minted in 1391-1393:)

With those only-xx2-and-xx6 types I'd be seriously wondering if they were actually minted in only one of the two dates and the other is just a sloppily made variant. Unfortunately I'm not sure if it's possible to tell which is which.
[Looking at Zeno, I see I'm not the first to think that. Though there's a bunch of other die matches to that one that are all labeled 796; in fact they seem to be the majority of clear 796 examples on Zeno.]

(This is particularly clear in the next type, Sagdeeva 438, where the plate example is dated "297" with a backward-pointing 9. I would rather read that as 796 as opposed to 792. Sagdeeva lists both dates and nothing else, and without looking at the source material I'm not confident they aren't different interpretation of the same 297. But I only found one clear 297 on Zeno and it's not this type and has the 9 pointing the correct way anyway.)

I also read 800; the two dots/small circles don't appear to be connected to anything else.
The same exact coin appears to be on Numista, where it is attributed to 801 without comment; AFAICT it's not (yet?) on Zeno.

I have no dateable ones for this decade but I do have a couple for the next one. Here are a couple of date range ones.

1399-1405 S-m Hungarian Denar under King Sigismund of Luxemburg;Huszar 576,Unger 449 delta,Pohl 117-21. The S is close 2 6:00 on the obverse near the bottom of the cross and the m is above the crest on the reverse.







1394-96 I-S Hungarian Denar under King Sigismund of Luxemburg;Huszar 576,Unger 449 delta,Pohl 117-14,Rethy II-121.The I is on the obverse between the 2 cross bars and the S is on the revers over the crest.

@january1may, yes, I agree, there are other cases of 6 instead of 2 because mirrored 2 may be read as 6. I have a coin of Khizr Khan with the date 766 which shall be read as 762 (will post it here later). So, we can date that coin to 792:)

@JohnConduitt, now it shall be attributed correctly. It will be even more correctly if you update it yourself and put "I made the picture myself":)
And make equal length and wide for both pictures...
I attributed your coin as Obverse: Sagdeeva 471, Reverse: Sagdeeva 470:))

Looks like I'm in the same boat. This is the first decade in our thread for which I don't have a single coin datable to a specific year. Clearly, I need to work on this, although we are now getting into some pretty rarified space for dated European coins. In looking through my Levinson, I seeing a total of five dated coins listed from this decade. All were minted in Schoonvorst Netherlands and the most common of these only has between 25 and 50 pieces in private hands. On the other hand, there might be a Blanca from Spain that is datable to 1391 AD.

For now, here is a Groschen from the German Duchy of Saxony that is datable to between 1390 and 1393 AD. It was minted at Messen and is attributed as Krug 470/471. The obv legend is BALTH DI GRACIA TVRING LANG C R V X while the rev inscription is + GROSSVS MARCH MISNENSOS. I think that we see this same design element of a floriated cross with C R V X in the corners on some Jetons made a century or two later.

I'd have expected a lot more activity for the 1390s than the 1400s... certainly from the usual Islamic suspects at least. But apparently not. Still nice coins though!

On my end, as far as I'm aware, I only have one coin that has a date that might be interpreted as 1390s; more likely it's a century and a half later, but in this condition it's hard to tell.
I also have a coin that the seller attributed to the 1390s, but looking at plausible time ranges, it's a better fit for the 1380s. Assuming the attribution is even correct, which it probably isn't.

For the 1380s, 1370s, and (I think) 1360s, I have some dated Islamic coins; also for the 1330s, but I hadn't checked the rest of my purchases.

That is a nice coin.

The floriated cross seems to have been a popular design around these decades. I will show some French varieties later.

The 1390s is a quiet decade for French coins. Coins were minted, but Charles VI did not issue any new types during the 1390s. Only a couple of types from the 1380s are attributable to the 1390s through mintmarks or tiny design details. Genoa and Savoy came under French rule 1396 and coins - not dated - were minted there for the French king for a little more than a decade. I have none of those, though.
