mvojnovic Pillar of the Community Serbia (Srbija) 576 Posts	Posted 11/20/2014 08:05 am On first smaller coin I could read Ferdinan(d) so my guess is Ferdinand I (1558 - - " 1564)? Therse is no picture of other site because there is nothing to see there. Second coin is very beat up all I could read is DEI like in DEI GRATIA... * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * To Ancient/Medieval coin section.

Medieval Pillar of the Community 3772 Posts	Posted 11/20/2014 08:30 am Agree with your reading of Ferdinand on the top image, but there are many different issues of Ferdinand I and Ferdinand II because they had sovereignty over different countries/states. My reading of the second image is: Black are markers (+ is the top) and red are letters. Need to rest my eyes, then I might give the third image a shot. Report this Post to the Staff

Medieval Pillar of the Community 3772 Posts	Posted 11/20/2014 09:23 am Here is a link http://www.medievalcoinage.com/gallery/poland.htm If you scroll down to 'Alexander Jagiellon (1501-1506)' you see pictures of what your coin likely is, namely: a Half Groschen from his reign.

Medieval Pillar of the Community 3772 Posts	Posted 11/20/2014 5:49 pm Thanks for the compliment 'chrsmat71', once you get used to the different scripts used and the style of inscriptions on those coins it's gets a little easier. Report this Post to the Staff
mvojnovic Pillar of the Community Serbia (Srbija) 576 Posts	Posted 11/21/2014 07:49 am Thanks a lot Medieval :) Although I think I might over payed them a little bit :( Do you know any website with Ferdinand I and Ferdinand II issues ?

Medieval Pillar of the Community 3772 Posts	Posted 11/21/2014 08:16 am Sorry 'mvojnovic', since there is little information on your coin you need to get lucky to attribute it. There are plenty of Ferdinands around, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferdinand (and this does not include nobility of lower rank) and several of those falling into a suitable time range issued coinage in several realms/cities.
