Sap Moderator Australia 16837 Posts	Posted 09/05/2011 10:52 pm It's a mediaeval Serbian coin. A pic of the other side might help confirm this, but I think the best match is a silver dinar of Prince Lazar (1371-1389 AD). 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

Sap Moderator Australia 16837 Posts	Posted 09/06/2011 06:18 am It helps that I've just finished reading my new Spink book, "Medieval Slavic Coinages in the Balkans" by Dimnic and Dobrinic. For most other mediaeval coinages, I'm still lacking good references. 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
