shaunychicane New Member United Kingdom 2 Posts	Posted 06/30/2016 06:48 am Can anyone help me in identifying this coin? It has the words V8. 1517. S. leopold (one side) Moneta. Nova. Carinthi (on the other side) It measures 1 inch across or roughly 25mm and is made of silver. I presume it is a coin struck in 1517 in Southern Austria but I cannot find any reference to it, any information would be greatly appreciated * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Although this coin has slithly different legend too (carin instead carinthie as on your coin). Hope it helps. Report this Post to the Staff

shaunychicane New Member United Kingdom 2 Posts	Posted 06/30/2016 1:54 pm Thanks to everyone for their help! I was given it as a gift whilst in France, it was a gift from a good friend of mine who knew nothing about it. I can see that Numista rate it as rarity 100 so it must be something rather unusual and special. As I am new to coins what condition whould you rate this coin and out of interest does it have any value? Many thanks. Shaun Report this Post to the Staff

Yours has a little better details. Thanks for sharing this great coin!
