Per advice, I'm going to post each of my 10 little medieval coppers individually. Thanks for any insight! This one is 13mm, 0.35g   |

Could be a fun challenge. This one looks like Hungary to me. Too bad the two letters between the pairs of arms on the cross are gone as that would help with narrowing this one down.

I have seen different letters between the bars of the cross on different issues that have no legends like this one, but all are from the reign of Sigismund. Are the letters are associated with mints, mint officials etc.? What are the possibilities if not Sigismund? Edited by Kamnaskires

@bob, for sure other folks had letters between the arms (Vlad I is one example). Pairing the cross with the crown may narrow it down enough that we can give a pretty good guess. I'll have to dig into my Frynas more this evening to confirm, but in a quick look this coin could be Quarting from Siggi (H.27.14).

Ok having now looked at all the Hungarian coins in Frynas, I'm pretty sure that I got the attribution correct above--a 15th Century Quarting. Here is a link to the coin on numista: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces48166.htmlI'd be very happy for @tdz, @eddiediz, or one of the other Hungarian specialists to confirm this though.

Is it common for these coins to look copper/bronze while actually being made of silver?
