numisart Valued Member United States 57 Posts	Posted 07/15/2015 2:38 pm I figured I'd post a few coins from my eclectic collection to show collectors a variety of themes, cultures, and possibilities. I hope these will trigger some interest and discussions. Report this Post to the Staff

I don't have many western european coins from this time, here's one form the holy roman empire. (reverse is left, I got them mixed up) Report this Post to the Staff
numisart Valued Member United States 57 Posts	Posted 07/15/2015 11:15 pm Interesting coin, Chrsmat71. Do you have any cataloging information so I may look up more about this coin? Report this Post to the Staff
chrsmat71 Pillar of the Community United States 4973 Posts	Posted 07/16/2015 9:51 pm here's what I was able to find online... Holy Roman Empire, Archbishopric of Salzburb, Eberhard II, 1200-1246 AD AR Friesarcher pfennig, o:(right on pic)bishop with crosier, r (left on pic): bishop between crosses. 19 mm, 1.2g one of the interesting things about this coin is the pattern on the obverse of some coins from this period. I guess when they struck these coins, they did one side (obverse), then flipped the coin and stuck it again..which damaged the obverse. Report this Post to the Staff
numisart Valued Member United States 57 Posts	Posted 07/17/2015 12:54 pm Ah, I knew the coin looked familiar. It's probably better cataloged as Austria, Eberhard II. von Regensberg, (1200-1246 A.D.), Duchy of Steiermark, Friesach under Archbishopric of Salzburg. I wish I had more books on medieval European coinage, then I wouldn't shy away from them as much. Edited by numisart 07/17/2015 12:55 pm Report this Post to the Staff
