With very few exceptions, European medieval coins were all paper thin, and always made from silver or gold. This allowed the coins to be produced more quickly and without having to heat the metal first. Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 07/15/2016 9:11 pm to the community I'm seen examples like this before but I can't quite put my finger on where. I think this is a real coin type. I'm going to move this over the the Ancient/Medieval coin section, I'm sure you will get some help there. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34430 Posts	Posted 07/15/2016 9:49 pm @fini75, first welcome to CCF. Second, that is a great little coin! It is a denar from Albrecht III of Brandenburg. It isn't dated, but was made in the last part of the 13th century. I have dated mine between 1283 and 1300 AD, but some sources list the date as between 1269 and 1300 AD. It should weigh about 0.6 or 0.7 g and be about 16 mm in diameter. The attribution is Bonhoff 816.

Spence Moderator United States 34430 Posts	Posted 07/16/2016 06:24 am @fini75, well that is a good question. At the moment, I don't see any of these for sale online, but it isn't my impression that they are particularly rare. Normally, you could see what other folks are selling theirs for and then formulate a plan to be somewhere in that range. As far as I know, there are no price books for these medieval coins as there are for world coins starting in 1601 (the Krause catalogs and others). Here is how I would value your coin: in 1977, a lot of 8 pieces was listed for sale in the auction catalog covering Dr. Friedrich Bonhoff's collection. The estimated total price was 100 DM, or 8.33 DM per piece. Looking at historical conversion rates and inflation, you are talking about a price of about $14.50 now. That said, there are multiple limitations to this calculation including the obvious facts that the coins may have sold for more or less than the auction estimate and their value may have gone up faster or slower than inflation. I would use 15 bucks as a starting point. Perhaps some others on CCF have a different opinion?
