allranger Pillar of the Community United States 1391 Posts	Posted 11/14/2014 4:14 pm I can find the reverse design with the four shields on some English coins, and I can find the cross design. But none with the shields and the cross. Was wondering if maybe it was a jeton or token? Or maybe I was looking in the wrong country? Report this Post to the Staff

Petrus Pillar of the Community Belgium 2895 Posts	Posted 11/14/2014 4:48 pm The english coins with the shield are the coat of arms of England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland. I do not have seen the shields with dots. The coins is mediëval, but the details are not good for reading the tekst. The cross is used in a lot of mediëval coins. In the quarters of the cross there are some symbols. These can be used for determination of the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
Medieval Pillar of the Community 3772 Posts	Posted 11/14/2014 5:14 pm As 'Petrus' said, the cross is a common design on many medieval coins. Based on the design on the right it looks like a Portuguese coin but would need to see more of the inscription to nail it down. Material? Weight? Diameter? Report this Post to the Staff

Petrus Pillar of the Community Belgium 2895 Posts	Posted 11/16/2014 3:18 pm Indeed well done! But a better picture should maybe give other details. On this link there are several such coins, but from different rulers (starting with Alfonso III): (safe to download) http://www.medievalcoinage.com/pdfb...e_Aragao.pdf http://www.medievalcoinage.com/pdfb...e_Aragao.pdf http://www.medievalcoinage.com/pdfb...e_Aragao.pdf Report this Post to the Staff
