I have only one coin from this era. It is Islamic and that's about all I know. Picked it out of a junk bin at a pawn shop:0  I think your coin is one of those 'borderlines' TJ! In that it looks to me like an Islamic denier (penny). And while strictly not European, such coins are sometimes found in Viking coin hoards, suggesting that they were acceptable for trade. I know they have been found in hoards from around when there were Viking kings in Britain, so we're talking about the 900s CE. Edited by Tom Goodheart

Personally I think Medieval coins should only be European, and can start from when Roman coins ceased to be produced in an area and local coins were, excluding contemporary imitations. And ends when machine struck coins were produced, or the renaisance.

Interesting topic. I'll contribute while we have it bumped:   Holy Roman Empire, city of Cologne Heinrich I von Mullenark (1190-1238) Silver denar, minted between 1225-1238 Heinrich was a shining example of the underwhelming bishop-kings of this period. He did little during his 13 year tenure except engage in small skirmishes with neighboring cities in attempts to seize more power for himself. He apparently crossed the line in 1235, getting himself excommunicated from the church. Aside from a handful of Byzantine and Arabic coins, this is the only medieval coin in my collection. |

Tasos- Greece. Sorry for late response. I have that book and it doesn't have your coin variation in it. First line in your coin is ST from STEFAN and in book there are two coins with first line STE and STFN (short) but in note Jovanovic states that there are many variations of this coin so I guess he didnt put them all in catalog. All best and |

This is an interesting thread for me, although it started well before I joined CCF. I'm trying to research and post one medieval coin each week. There are plenty of Greek and especially Roman coins that are shown around here (and that is great because there is so much for me to learn about them), but I'm trying to raise the visibility of the coins of the dark ages and medieval period.

In Spain we consider that the midle age starts with the fall of Rome in 472 and ends with the discovery of America in 1492...

Purely numismatically, it might be fitting to say that the Middle Ages started with Anastasius' reform in 498 and ended with creation of the Joachimsthaler in 1486.
But we'd probably need a slightly later bound on the second side (can anyone think of a decent one?), or a lot of people will end up with no medieval coins (or with their only medieval coins being Byzantine) even if they thought they've been collecting medieval coins already.

Fall of Rome was in 476, but anyway we need here numismatical boundaries of Middle Ages and ever historical ones are not fix dates. There are many events that can be taken as beginning and end of one era. As ancientcoinguy said numismatical boundaries would be hard to determine especially world wide. Ive seen Persian, Afghani and Indian coins from 18-19 century and they look same (same/similar minting technique) as medieval coins. Edited by mvojnovic

One of the best references for medieval coins is
'Coins of Medieval Europe', by Philip Grierson.
Covers the period of the Fifth Century to the Fifteenth Century, inclusive.
He has quoted over 160 bibliographical references to back up his research.
Over 500 high quality pictures of coins in text, mostly both sides, bracteates single sided.
Krause takes over with the pictures from 1600 onwards.
Sear covers the period from ancient Greece to where Grierson starts.
Stephen Album covers Islamic issues, Schjoth covers Chinese issues Vcoins and Wildwinds Greek and Roman, not to forget Zeno.ru.
