Medieval coin ID?
« on: May 24, 2008, 06:14:29 am »
I found this amongst low silver coins of around 1430. One side is almost blank but the other has this very distinctive design.
Anyone recognise it? About 13mm

Looks like a coin from  Andrew III Arpad Dynasty 1290 AD  ( not 100% sure on the date )

I stumbled across a coin like yours  while doing research on a coin of my own,  but cannot remember the reference site.  I'll keep trying to find it

Arpad would be right. I shall have to have another look through Huszar

Hello!

I believe it is a Wiener pfennig - specifically: CNA I, B162.  Luschin #68a. (Cross in ring of leaves - trilobe shaped). Vienna mint, for Ottokar II (as King) 1251-1276. The reverse of these coins is usually weak, but this one would have had a crowned lion  left, in a border of stars.  I can send reference if you want, please PM me.
