(This is obviously a joke, although the denier is real and bears a striking resemblance to the aforementioned meme.)

It would be unsurprising if King Vencel let out a hearty laugh upon seeing this coin. Medieval kings were much less 'pompous' and 'orderly' than we imagine. They certainly had a sense of humor and much less decorum than our image of a stiff, religious monarch.

Furthermore, Vencel was only 12 years old when he rose to the throne, and the crown was taken from him at 15. This perfectly fits into the 9GAG/4chan demographic, too. Chroniclers described him as a 'reveler and a rake' who spent more time drinking and partying than ruling the realm. Medieval humor was quite crude, raunchy, and earthy, from nobles to serfs alike.

Recently received this coin that has some paperwork showing it came from nuestra senora de atocha. My grandfather purchased it years ago and it was passed down to me. I did a quick search and it looks like there are a lot of fakes on the market, so I thought uploading some pictures of the certificate and coin for opinions.

A couple things that seem off to me: the weight on the cert says 26.3 grams and I weighed it at 24.23 grams. Also, the picture looks different on the certificate too.

I’d like to sell it, but I’m not comfortable doing so without some clarity. Thank you for helping!

Hey, I came into possession of this coin a few years ago. It’s a Polish Gdansk schilling (szeląg) of Casimir IV Jagiellon. It seems to me that there is a Jagiellonian cross above the Gdansk emblem and a rosette above the eagle. I even found this variety in the Kopicki catalog, but it’s listed there as a common type. What intrigues me is that I haven't found a similar specimen anywhere online yet. Is it actually rarer, or is my research just poor? Also does anyone know a way to remove this stubborn, brown-green crust? I don't want to use harsh chemicals because I’m worried about damaging the patina. Thanks in advance for the help!

1627 Philip IV 1 Real. Segovia Mint. Rare 22.3mm 93% silver.

Condition: very fine

How much is this coin type usually worth on the market? It seems to be rare.

(at least I think it is from what I can tell)

recieved a bunch of medieval to 1600s coins including 2 Portuguese reals de 10 soldos and a Sigismund quarting. that being said I don’t know what these guys are. any help is appreciated

heres some guesses

1: copped, from the papal states

2: silver, French?

3: silver, no clue

4: silver, French?

5: silver, possibly hungarian or polish

6: French or English?

Yet again, I'm struggling to identify the Mint and Year, as I cannot read Arabic.

my attempt at getting better photos of the coins from the last post:

https://www.reddit.com/r/MedievalCoin/comments/1t47du3/comment/ok2ymtq/

the coins are very worn down and are really hard to make out in person, and even harder on camera. tried getting as many visible angles as possible. the last one is basically flat on the back and I cannot get a photo of anything. hopefully these are more clear.

first one seemingly reads LIONUT(?)MW(?)(?)N(?)I on the front and G(?)TG(?) KH(x?) D? (S?)(???)

Second on the front right reads RVDOTZIM and the back reads LVDO A NA(??)A. W(?)

third is completely illegible

fourth has a horizontal K on the left side of the crest and a D on the right

edit: second coin id’d as 1591-1595 Nassau-Idstein 2 kruezer

Per il mio compleanno ho comprato queste monete imedievali italiane che adesso fanno parte della mia collezzione di monete medievali siciliane (tranne l'ultima). La prima moneta e un trifollaro di Guglielmo ii (re normanno) 1166-1189 La seconda moneta e un denaro di Enrico vi 1191-1197 La terza e un denaro di Corrado II (chiamato Corradino) con C fra delle crescenti, 1250-1254 La quarta moneta e un denaro di Manfredi spahr 199 (catalogo italiano per monete siciliane) 1258-1266 La quinta e un denaro di Manfredi, "MyA" spahr 200, 1258-1266 La sesta moneta e un denaro di Manfredi spahr 215 con la doppia croce, 1258-1267 L'ultima e un denaro di Lucca, dei re Enrico III,IV,V, 1039-1125

So to start with, i don't normally buy or collect medieval coins.

But when i came across this coin it just screamed at me "Please buy me, you want me!" so here i am with a coin from an era that i'm not too familiar with. The seller is a seller i trust and deal with on a regular basis, but for this coin he hadn't had time yet to research it and it was not on display for the public yet so i figured that i could do the research.....

As this is far from my first coin i figured how hard can it be, so i was really pleased with myself when i thought that i have found it to be Typ 1d (1279) but just a moment later i discovered that there is fricking 15 groups of pennys.

Yes a lot of them are out of question but still i feel that my knowledge for this type of coins are way to low, so i would love if someone can tell me what i have here.
