I assume that they are all Barcelona Mint, but I am not quite able to make out the actual name of the Catalan King. Are they all Jaume II? Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34428 Posts	Posted 04/20/2016 7:54 pm @archraz, pics with each coin separate would help with the attribution process. I think that I can make out enough of the legend on the left and center coins to confirm that they are from Jaime I (1276-85). Rev legend is IA-CO-BR-EX. As far as the obv legend goes, it should be BARQVINO or BARQVINONO, which I'm having a little difficulty reading in these letters. It looks more like BARCVINONA or some other variation. The right coin has the ruler name on the obv. I think I can make out IACOBVS REX, which would suggest Jaime II (1327-33). The rev legend seems to read BA-CI-NO-NA. Nice coins--thanks for sharing this grouping!

But these are the pics from the auction. I haven't received them in the mail yet. Thanks for the help reading the legends. The reverse inscriptions do make me wonder if they were minted outside of Barcelona. Report this Post to the Staff
