Keith67 Pillar of the Community United States 6619 Posts	Posted 05/28/2021 11:40 am I see you post a lot of coins that you know nothing about. May I ask where you got this coins? Report this Post to the Staff
PaddyB Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 945 Posts	Posted 05/28/2021 11:53 am First one is another Charles II undated "Maundy" coin from around 1662 to 1669. There should be Roman numerals to identify the denomination, but those have been obliterated - size will give us a better idea. Second is a Henry III voided Long cross penny. Reverse should give moneyer and mint, but I am struggling to work out which at the moment. PS - I can see moneyer is Nicole now - probably London.

PaddyB Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 945 Posts	Posted 05/28/2021 2:37 pm "Moneyer" is the term used for the mint-master - the person responsible for creating the coin. Long before there were centralised mints, coins were struck all over the country and there were different moneyers operating at different times in different towns. It is believed their names appeared on the coins so that if the coinage was not up to scratch, the authorities knew who to hang! The practice certainly dates back to Roman times - often with the Republican coinage, the only way of dating the coin is by the moneyer's details appearing on it. In Spink, and even more in the North books you can see lists of moneyers associated with the mint towns and class of coinage they produced. Report this Post to the Staff
