tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7960 Posts	Posted 02/24/2020 8:42 pm Beautiful! I expect when we get to G for Great Britain we will see more of St. George. Here is a cornuto form the Italian city-state of Carmagnola, near Turin. The saint on horseback is Saint Constantius, which legend holds was a soldier in the Theban Legion, some (or all) of whom were put to death near today's St. Moritz Switzerland in 286 a.d.

tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7960 Posts	Posted 02/25/2020 7:27 pm Thanks for those great adds @pepactonius. I will add one more St. Andrew, the undated Brabant florin shown below, 1467-1477 with a more 2-dimensional portrayal of the saint. And ... a call for a medieval Ancona coin, which I know at least a couple of CCF members have, with a portrait of a saint we haven't seen yet Edited by tdziemia 02/25/2020 7:30 pm Report this Post to the Staff

tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7960 Posts	Posted 02/26/2020 7:34 pm Bavaria is still on my want list. I've only got teeny madonnas on a couple of Hungarian denars. Here is St. Vincent on 1 dicken coin from Berne, Switzerland Report this Post to the Staff

tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7960 Posts	Posted 02/27/2020 9:41 pm Another nice St. Andrew. I get confused by which Brunswick- has the wildman, which has St Andrew, and which overlap with both. My last Brabant contribution is this double esterlin with the Archangel Michael. Saint Michael and Saint Gudula are the patron saints of the city of Brussels. I know that another CCF member has a token with an image of Saint Gudula, so maybe that will show soon!

tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7960 Posts	Posted 02/28/2020 8:45 pm I am looking forward to seeing that Ancona medieval ... both a place and saint we haven't seen yet. Might you also have an early mariengroschen with a madonna? Enquiring minds want to know And, grateful to @pepactonius for the steady stream of contributions! I've got two left for A-B-C, and nowhere near as many for D-E-F. Here is Saint Peter enthroned (and rather worn down) on a Bremen coin: Report this Post to the Staff
tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7960 Posts	Posted 02/29/2020 4:52 pm My last contribution for the beginning of the alphabet is this 15th century 1/2 batzen from Constance with an image of St. Conrad. I will post a summary later of the (appreciable!) prgoress in the first 3 letters of the alphabet. Report this Post to the Staff

tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7960 Posts	Posted 02/29/2020 9:37 pm Quote: Ok for the letter A, I have three coins Talk about clutch! We're in the bottom of the ninth here for A to C, so great help from yours and @pepactonius' contributions (BTW, there are more dates of early Aaachen coins up for auction right now) Thanks to all who contributed to the first slice of the alphabet! I think the options will be fewer for D-E-F depending on whether we call UK coins from the 19th century England or Great Britain. But before getting ahead of myself, here's where we are already after the first 3 letters: Compendium of Saints by Place Name Aachen - Charlemagne (2) Andorra - Charlemagne Arezzo - St. Donato Australia - St. George (2) Bavaria - Mary as Madonna (6) Berne - St. Vincent Bingen - St. Martin of Tours Bohemia - St Adalbert and St. Wenceslas Brabant - St. Andrew, St. Michael, St. Peter, St. Philip Bremen - St Peter, St. Willehad Brunswick (city) - St. Anne Brunswick-Lunenburg-Calenberg - St. Andrew Brunswick-Luneburg-Calenberg-Hanover - St. Andrew (3) Canada - St. George (2) Carmagnola - St. Constanmtius Constance - St. Conrad Corvey - St. Vitus If we organize the list by saints' name: Adalbert - Bohemia Andrew (5) - Brabant, Brunswick-Luneburg-Calenberg, Brunswick-Luneburg-Calenberg-Hanover(3) Anne - Brunswick Charlemagne (3) - Aachen (2), Andorra Conrad- Constance Constantius - Carmagnola Donato - Arezzo Eligius George (5) - Australia, Canada Martin - Bingen Mary as Madonna (6) - Bavaria Michael - Brabant Peter (2) - Brabant, Bremen Philip - Brabant Vincent - Berne Vitus - Corvey Wenceslas - Bohemia(2) Willehad - Bremen Edited by tdziemia 03/01/2020 12:46 pm Report this Post to the Staff
