llewellin Pillar of the Community United States 1005 Posts	Posted 07/05/2021 6:13 pm Does this design look familiar to anyone here? the coin is small, perhaps 1 cm in diameter or so, and on one side there looks to be a knight in armor and on the other it appears to be a tick of some sort. Legends are difficult for me to make out unfortunately so I'm afraid I'm a bit stuck. If anyone recognizes this and would take the time to post It would be greatly appreciated, as I am not the greatest researcher.. Thank you Report this Post to the Staff

NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 17915 Posts	Posted 07/05/2021 7:26 pm Interesting coin, but doesn't look English to me. Most English medieval coins are pennies, which have a distinct cross on the reverse. Anglo-Saxon coins did have different designs, but I don't recognize this. Maybe from mainland Europe?

january1may Pillar of the Community Russian Federation 5172 Posts	Posted 07/06/2021 07:44 am That weird angel-esque thingy (the winged lion of St. Mark) is a blatant giveaway for Venice. If you see this on a coin, almost certainly this is a coin from either Venice or one of the Venetian colonies. Report this Post to the Staff
