Title: ID Help medieval AR Av: Hand holding sword / Rv: Castle
Post by: Cacuci on January 17, 2018, 12:01:55 pm
Please help me get a clue about this coin. I only have the pictures.

The legend is something like this: CASTRVM VICOSTOTI   / HORTIS MAUS . Of course, i might misread it.
The style is a little bit wrong, like some children play.
Could it be a modern fantasy fake?

Thank  you.
Bogdan.

It has the overall appearance of a modern fantasy piece.  I am not familiar with this issue though, so I cannot say for sure.
