Princetane Pillar of the Community 4628 Posts	Posted 07/26/2021 9:33 pm bd251 12 points - -1 point for size as 20mm is borderline and as I am after big silver coins, I round it down. 1 point for silver purity as halfgroats were a very LOW denomination coin and often had under 50% silver and some even were basically billion. However you get 5 points for a battle scene, your knight is charging on the horse and is holding his sword ready to cut the enemy down - so you get battlepoints. Great entry - it's going to be hard to top. PS I used 1790 and I knew I would see a sea of early 19th century American coins that have absolutely nothing to do with Renaissance Europe and bewigged rulers surrounded by lions, crowns, medieval castles and heart shaped ruffs.
