chequer Pillar of the Community Canada 4227 Posts	Posted 05/01/2018 4:39 pm I'm not familiar with these. Not even sure of authenticity. Weight 0.6g; diameter around 16mm. Thanks * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Joseph7420 Bedrock of the Community Canada 11922 Posts	Posted 05/01/2018 6:02 pm On the second picture, I can read "ANCO", which would be the start of Ancona, a name of an Italian Papal State. Your coin fits the design/dimensions of the 1 denaro piece made from 1250 to 1348 pretty well, I would say. Link! https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces87594.html Report this Post to the Staff

tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7959 Posts	Posted 05/01/2018 9:02 pm These denari from Ancona have popped up a few times on CCF recently: http://goccf.com/t/312302 They also pop up at auctions regularly. The reverse legend is PP S QUIRIA CVS(center) for Saint Quiriacus, one of the patron saints of Ancona. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34428 Posts	Posted 05/01/2018 9:03 pm Yes @jospeh7420 nailed it. We have seen this coin type a couple times previously at CCF: http://goccf.com/t/312302 http://goccf.com/t/281259#2389231 The weight and diameter are fine. What makes you question its authenticity?

chequer Pillar of the Community Canada 4227 Posts	Posted 05/01/2018 10:51 pm Thanks for the links. Quote: The weight and diameter are fine. What makes you question its authenticity? The surface texture just has a rather grainy appearance, kind of similar to the coin in the first link above though, so perhaps it's fine. It's likely just my unfamiliarity with the coin.
