aiglet7 Pillar of the Community Canada 695 Posts	Posted 09/06/2011 7:59 pm Would appreciate assistance in identifying these two coins. The first I believe to be a Danish coin of Frederik 6th - possibly from the Danish East Indies. Thank you! Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16830 Posts	Posted 09/06/2011 11:41 pm The second object does not look sufficiently "coin-like" for me to say it is a coin, or anything else numismatic. I'm thinking it might be a broken piece of jewellery or something. 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
aiglet7 Pillar of the Community Canada 695 Posts	Posted 09/07/2011 10:36 am Thank you for your quick responses! I was way off in my belief that the 1st coin was Danish - though I have seen an image of a similar coin with a crown over the letter 'F'. DCH, where were you able to get the information that this was a coin of Ferdinand the Catholic of Naples. Catalog, website or personal knowledge? Sap, I'm sure you are correct that the second item is not a coin - though I remember reading somewhere that one of the old Indian states used the swastika on its coinage. Thank you, both, for your input - much appreciated! Report this Post to the Staff
DCH Pillar of the Community United States 645 Posts	Posted 09/07/2011 9:05 pm I've seen this type before and knew which catalog to look in. Two of my references list it: Medieval European Coinages, Vol.14 Italy. La Monete Napoletane Dai Bizantini a Carlo V. Value listed at 20Euro in Fine. Report this Post to the Staff
