Ancient and Medieval Coin Identification Help / Re: Greek coin- ID please

« Last post by Danny K2 on Today at 06:26:33 am »

Hi Meepzorp,
Thanks for your reply.
The diameter is indeed 8mm (already changed the post).
You are right, the coin is more likely: AEOLIS, Elaia. Circa 350-300 BC. Helmeted head of Athena left / seed in olive.
I have a few more coins in my collection where I could see more details of the reverse.
Thanks again.
Regards,
Danny

One coin at a time, everything will begin to make sense even though it may seem overwhelming at first.  A problem that many of us would love to have is having too much coins.   google

Ancient Coin Forum / Re: Buying Ancients and Taking Them Out of Italy: Laws and Practice

« Last post by Gavin C on Today at 05:50:12 am »

Legal Considerations:
Italy has strict laws regarding the export of cultural heritage items, including ancient artifacts such as coins. These laws are designed to protect Italy's cultural heritage and prevent the illegal trafficking of antiquities.
Purchasing ancient coins in Italy is generally legal if the coins are acquired from reputable sources, such as licensed dealers or legitimate archaeological sites.
However, exporting ancient coins from Italy may require documentation and permits, especially for coins considered to be of significant cultural or historical value. Failure to obtain the necessary permits can result in confiscation of the coins and legal consequences.
Practical Considerations:
Before purchasing ancient coins in Italy, it's essential to research the legal requirements for exporting such items from the country. This may involve consulting with legal experts or government authorities to ensure compliance with relevant regulations.
When buying ancient coins, it's crucial to obtain proper documentation and provenance information from the seller. This documentation can help facilitate the export process and demonstrate the legitimacy of the coins' acquisition.
Travelers should be prepared to declare any ancient coins they are carrying when leaving Italy and entering their home country or other destinations. Customs authorities may ask for documentation or proof of legal acquisition, so it's essential to have these documents readily available.

Ancient and Medieval Coin Identification Help / Re: Id help please - is this possibly Richard III?

« Last post by Anaximander on Today at 05:44:56 am »

From the size, it's a penny. Little can be deduced from the obverse, as you say, other than it's an English penny with a crowned bust facing. Likely 15th-16th century. From the reverse, I'll cite the one diagnostic device I can discern: the central device in the long cross is a pellet in quatrefoil, thus minted in York. That happens to resemble my Henry IV penny of York, though it could also be a coin for Edward III-IV, Richard II, or Henry V-VI, whose pennies were minted at York with the central quatrefoil.

Forum numizmatyki antycznej po polsku / Re: Monety Cesarstwa Rzymskiego z błędem -> małe nakłady, rarytasy kolekcjonerskie

Może między awersem a rewersem była jakaś impreza w mennicy (wiem, wyjaśnienie dość banalne, ale chyba nie zawsze nieprawdziwe).

Niewykluczone, tyle że jak komuś tak się wybór literek plątał, to powinien je też zacząć krzywo stawiać. A tu oba napisy są mniej więcej tak samo proste :-)

Trzeba jednak przyznać, że ich turborumunizm ma większe oparcie w faktach (mocno naciągane, ale jednak jakieś ma) niż to, co wymyślają nasi turbosłowianie.

Tak, ale z drugiej strony jak się popatrzy na wszędobylskość rozmaitego turborumuństwa, to z pewnością wyprzedzają nas znacznie w wyciskaniu ilości produktów z jednego mniej lub bardziej naciągniętego faktu historycznego/legendy :-) U nas to jest mimo wszystko zupełny margines - paru tfurców, jedno czy dwa wydawnictwa, parę kanałów YT i skupione koło nich niespecjalnie chyba liczne kółka miłośników (i to wydaje mi się, że znacznie mniej aktywne niż parę lat temu). A tam to jest na poziomie państwowym - od przywracania nieużywanych od 1750 lat łacińskich nazw miast przez reromanizację języka, pomniki, ciężkie do obejrzenia filmy, programy szkolne po oficjalną wykładnię dla przewodników turystycznych. Na dodatek trwa to niezależnie od ustroju od półtora wieku, więc niezależnie od jakości zdołało się całkiem nieźle zakorzenić.
