Athalbert Pillar of the Community Spain 629 Posts	Posted 06/25/2015 5:18 pm In the first image I can see the mint city (TOLLETA = TOLEDO) around the cross. In the second image I can see the name of the king (ANFVS REX = ALFONSVS REX). For more info use this link: http://www.maravedis.org/alfonso8.html http://www.maravedis.org/alfonso8dineropag.html See the second sample, it´s a dinero (denarius) of Alfonso VIII Report this Post to the Staff
vince1977 Pillar of the Community Netherlands 847 Posts	Posted 06/26/2015 02:31 am Hello Athalbert, Thanks alot for your reaction! However I can't figure out the reverse. As I don't see an face in the middle. Nor an standing figure. And I also can't find the exact obverse. As there are some differences. However the Lyrics are correct. SO it is an early coin.
