Your second piece is not a coin, but a Nuremberg rechenpfennig, or jeton. See this UKDFD page for info and basic type and issuer ID. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

coinut Valued Member United States 362 Posts	Posted 03/22/2011 8:41 pm Man you are THE man! The second coin is indeed a Lion of Saint Mark Obv. Winged Lion of St. Mark, holding Book of Gospels in forepaw Rev. Imperial orb within a tressure of three arches and three angle Not sure if it's worth anything but it's neat and old. Thanks so much! And I did try and get a obverse of the Iran coin I just could not get a clear pict. Is it silver by the way? Report this Post to the Staff
