thryan9 Valued Member United States 220 Posts	Posted 01/21/2015 11:40 am I need help identifying what this is. It is 10mm to 11.7mm in diameter. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Moved to the Ancient/Medieval coin section. Report this Post to the Staff

Groszy Pillar of the Community United States 589 Posts	Posted 01/21/2015 1:41 pm Looks like the Polish Eagle and the Czech Lion. Although I'm not familiar with the coin, it could be of the following: Bolesław I Chrobry: Duke of Bohemia and Duke of Poland between 1002-1003 Wacław II Czeski: King of Bohemia, King of Poland, and King of Kraków between 1300 and 1305 Wacław III: King of Poland and King of Bohemia between 1305 and 1306 Władysław II Jagiellończyk: King of Bohemia from 1471 to 1516; was the son of Kazimierz IV Jagiellończyk, the King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania Ludwik II Jagiellończyk: King of Bohemia from 1516 to 1526; the son of Władysław II, grandson of Kazimierz IV Although the coinage of the Poles and Bohemians that I've seen weren't as "simple" as your coin, it's the only thing I can think of. Perhaps someone else has thoughts? Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 01/21/2015 9:00 pm I'm not sure but it does appear to be Medieval. I'm going to move this thread of to the Ancient/Medieval coin section for some expert opinions. Report this Post to the Staff
Medieval Pillar of the Community 3772 Posts	Posted 01/21/2015 9:14 pm Agree with 'Groszy' that it seems to be the Bohemian lion. The eagle though could be the Austrian one as well. The Bohemian lion was used on general coinage from the 13th century on. Based on the simple design, would assume that it is a local issue minted by some mint in Bohemia. Report this Post to the Staff
thryan9 Valued Member United States 220 Posts	Posted 01/23/2015 4:28 pm I am still having a hard time finding this coin anywhere, so maybe you can help me with what I'm looking at. Being about 11mm, what denomination would this be? (I'm assuming it is silver). What would you call the devices, are they shields or coat of arms? Do they represent a king or country? If this coin is a local issue, does that mean it will be very difficult to identify? Thanks for all of your help. Report this Post to the Staff
thryan9 Valued Member United States 220 Posts	Posted 02/11/2015 3:55 pm Looks like this will be going into the "unknown" bin. Groszy gave me a lot to go on, but no success. Report this Post to the Staff
