My last from this decade (and currently my earliest medieval gold, though not for lack of trying  )is this Chaise d'Or from the Duchy of Brabant, struck in the name of Holy Roman Emperor Louis of Bavaria. Witte 375. It is known that striking of these began in late 1338 at the Antwerp mint while Edward III of England was staying there for the winter. In 1343 the same type was struck in Antwerp, but bearing Duke John's name and shield, and in 1347 Louis died, so it is likely this coin was struck within the ten year span 1338-1347, and maybe only 1338-1343, though Elsen always lists these only as "a partir de november 1338." At 4.5 grams, it copies both the design and specifications of the French chaise of Philip VI.   Edited by tdziemia

It is always hard to follow medieval gold, but fortunately your post is at the top of the page @tdz, so everyone will get to see it. That is superb! Here is my last coin to post for the 1330s: another Serbian Dinar. It was issued by King Stefan IV in the range of 1331 to 1345 AD. The obv inscription is STEPANVS DEI GRA REX. I believe that is Christ enthroned on the rev. It is attributed as Jov. 1.1.   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

@spence interesting Serbian piece! I was thinking the same thing....A design I've never seen before. Is that some kind of tabernacle or reliquary? Is it also possible that in the 1330s he had a Hungarian denar that EddieDiz didn't have (1333)

Updated listing for the 1330s:
1339 - tdziemia; Grinya (?) (739 AH)
1338 - tdziemia, EddieDiz, Spence
1337 - tdziemia; Grinya (737 AH)
1336-35 - none yet (would be 736 and 735 AH)
1334 - tdziemia; january1may (734 AH)
1333 - Spence
1332 - Grinya (732 AH)
1331 - Grinya (731 AH)
1330 - EddieDiz
Only one new date added (1333), with two still remaining, which is of course already better than average for this century so far.
(It looks like there's probably enough evidence to assign the "1330" denar to that year for now. Spence's denar that he didn't mention a date for is from 1338 and had been listed under that year.)
[EDIT: some minor additions]

You are very welcome!
If you go back a few pages to posts of 14 January, you will find a very nice silver coin, also struck in Antwerp in this decade.

In the descriptions of similar coins on acsearch, I see a few interpretations: 1. crested helmet left 2. veiled helmet left, surmounted by tablet, rosette, and plume 2. church with medallion on cross Quote:

Ham sandwiches aside, this is last call for the decade of the 1330s. Starting tomorrow morning, let's drop back to the decade of the 1320s!

From here on, I have far fewer coins, and almost none attributable to a single date  . Sticking with Low Countries, here is another coin of the Duchy of Brabant, an esterlin dateable to 1329-1337.   Obv: Quartered arms of Brabant-Limburg. DVX BRAB ANTIE Rev: Floriate cross. MONETA LOVANIES |

I have one esterlin (well, a copy of an Edward III penny), which happens to be from this decade. Louis IV of Bavaria, Sterling Imitation, 1325-1328 Aachen. Silver, 1.2g. Crowned bust; +LVDOVICVS ROM REX. Long cross pattée with eagle in first quadrant; MOn / ETA / AQVE / nSIS (Mayhew 332).

@JohnConduitt, there are still some Golden Horde coins, this is not the end:)) Dang of Muhammad Uzbeg Khan, Qrim al-Maqrus mint 720 AH (1320?) Sagdeeva #189 720 -s a frozen date believed to have been struck for as long as 30-40 years without change of date, design, or ruler's name, and were in circulation for more than 100 years which may be a reason that it is not easy to find it in a good shape:)   Edited by Grinya
