Sap Moderator Australia 16837 Posts	Posted 02/01/2008 7:12 pm They're not from any ancient or mediaeval coin series I'm familiar with. I would initially suspect some kind of fantasy pieces, for the two on the right, at least. You've got a die match on the hexagram side, but completely different designs on the other side. The "script" looks almost, but not quite, like astrology signs. The other one (top left) looks vaguely mediaeval - Byzantine or splinter empires (Bulgaria, Serbia etc), but the artwork just looks wrong. Where did they come from? Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 02/02/2008 01:14 am What if these aren't actual coins, but given the religious symbology, perhaps they were used in a ceremony? It may be a wild guess, but some of the symbols remind me of those used for alchemy/astrology, although I can't identify them--and don't claim to be remotely correct!

Bacchus2 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2884 Posts	Posted 02/02/2008 3:16 pm I think that all three are modern fantasy pieces. The patina and workmanship are very similar to a series of fake "uncleaned" fel temp's that did the rounds a few years ago My Papal States coin collection: https://diadumenian.com/Papal%20Sta...0States.html Medieval coins collection: https://diadumenian.com/Congressofp...0Europe.html Indian Rupee Collection: https://diadumenian.com/Congressofp...0Rupees.html Minor world Silver: https://diadumenian.com/Congressofp...20coins.html Report this Post to the Staff

Archraz Pillar of the Community United States 3499 Posts	Posted 11/07/2008 10:40 pm lol at Andimsum's post. I must agree that these probably are fantasies, but they are cool looking. Report this Post to the Staff
wetglaswegian Member United States 917 Posts	Posted 11/14/2008 9:17 pm Very weird looking , id agree they are some kind of mystical devices or gamepieces , the smallest one isn't a coin at all I dont reckon as it has an angel on one side and the devil on the other..never heard of that in a coin.
