BrahamCracker New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 01/10/2024 3:34 pm I found this many years ago in Culpepper VA. Just recently viewed it with a magnifying glass to notice that it wasn't Civil War Era. Was wondering if it was something Spanish. Maybe cob? It's in rough shape and was found with a metal detector.

We'll need better pictures of the obverse and reverse (in focus and cropped), as well as the diameter and weight to be able to help you.

Spence Moderator United States 34398 Posts	Posted 01/10/2024 4:40 pm From this one image, I agree with @keith that it looks like a Hungarian Denar. If it has Mary and the Christ child on the other side, then that would help to confirm. Pls post a pic when you have a chance. Thx and welcome to CCF.

Sap Moderator Australia 16817 Posts	Posted 01/10/2024 5:00 pm I'd agree, a Hungarian denar, probably dating from the 1500s or 1600s. The coat of arms is distinctively Hungarian.

Keith67 Pillar of the Community United States 6528 Posts	Posted 01/20/2024 10:54 am Very cool. Are you able to post a picture of the other side Report this Post to the Staff
BrahamCracker New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 01/23/2024 10:46 am I've tried loading an image of the other side. I'm no good at this sizing image thing. I located a 1535 Hungarian Denar and that is what it is with Mary and the Christ child on the front. Report this Post to the Staff
