After some research they appear to be a crusaders coin from the county of Tripoli, and the other a Reyes Catolicos coin. If anyone could tell me whether these are replicas of authentic, that would be great. - AXBROWN * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

The Tripoli coin is mass-produced and sold in sets of replica "crusader coins", like the ones sold here. The Reyes Catolicos is a very commonly replicated coin, what with the connections to Columbus, pirates and all that; yours is not quite as bad as the gilt-bronze ones that often turn up on the forums, but it still bears some similarity to those - such as "R-E-backwardsZ" instead of "REX". 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
