Bacchus2 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2950 Posts	Posted Today 13H 33M ago Despite living on the island of Ireland, local coinage never really interested me until recently. But I have added this Dublin penny of John (ND 1177-1216), instantly recognisable because of the triangle feature surrounding the portrait. Ob. IOhA NNES RE X Crowned facing bust, holding cruciform scepter; rosette to right; all within triangle, legend around Rev. #10016; ROB#1028; #10016; RD ON #10016; DIV#1028; Pinwheel (sun) within crescent moon; three stars around; all within triangle; three crosses pattee, legend around All we really know of this moneyer is that he worked at Dublin around 1207-1211.

wheatiefan Pillar of the Community United States 515 Posts	Posted Today 3H 52M ago I recently got the book 'Coins of Scotland, Ireland and the Islands...' and thought about which ones I would get. In general I'm not into medieval or hammered coinage but some of them appeal to me. That's a good one for the time period, with the triangle and a portrait, and the symbols on the reverse.

Sap Moderator Australia 17046 Posts	Posted Today 1H 17M ago These coins are also quite popular with anyone wanting a coin of "Prince John the bad guy from Robin Hood", or anyone else wanting to assemble a collection of coins depicting the actual names of the English monarchs, since these coins actually bear John's name, IOHANNES - his English coins were all struck in the name of the long-departing king Henry II, and can only be attributable to John by arcane study of minute details upon the coins. 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
