The British have a long and fascinating history. When do you guys believe the Medieval period ends for the coins of this culture? Milled coinage of Elizabeth I?

Kefiroth Pillar of the Community United States 1431 Posts	Posted 10/07/2014 4:34 pm From a historical (and not necessarily coinage) perspective, I think the beginning of the Tudor dynasty in 1485 (after Richard III was slain at Bosworth Field) more-or-less marks the end of the medieval era in England. Though I think it's a bit silly to say that any singular year or event can be hailed as the end of an era so ambiguously defined as "Medieval" is. From a coin perspective, it was also in the reign of Henry VII that more realistic portraits of the monarch began to be seen on coins, though this can hardly be considered as great of a paradigm shift as the advent of milled coinage.

peter1234 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1351 Posts	Posted 10/07/2014 4:50 pm I haven't got the book to hand but I would say the end of North volume 2. It will be open for debate. When does ancient finish,dark ages start/finish etc. After the milled experiment we went back to hammered. I prefer to work with House of x etc. Report this Post to the Staff
