Thanks copper and zoo, Searched the little coin, found its from Hungary as you guys said. Its Louis II (Lajos II) 1516-26, K-G. They sell for about 15-20 pounds so not bad. Search on for the other two now, will let you know if I find anything.

And the notes.

Reverse.

Paid £10 for 3 coins four German bank notes. Are they real and worth the tenner I paid?

Nice coin Matteo

Is it possible to i.d this coin from what is left of it. Clipped and worn .7g 15mm across. The best match I could find is Edward IV second reign penny with the D in centre of rev. But not sure as the kings neck looks different. Thanks for any help with positive i.d.

Thanks again.

Thank you so much Dave for your time helping me. much appreciated.

Please put me right on my i.d's please. Number 1... possibly Edward I Chester mint 9b but no star on kings chest so not sure. maybe Chester 3g Number 2...Edward I. 3a London. Curved lined hooked end collar around the Kings neck. Number 3..Edward I Canterbury not sure of class.

Thank you Dave. Number 8 must be 10cf2 spink 1411. Thanks for the Exeter reference not seen this one before.

Please put me right on my I.d's Number 4 .. Possibly Edward II-III The king has slightly longer hair and no pearls on crown, and Lombardic Ns so don't think this is Edward I. London mint. Number 5.. Edward I class 5b Durham mint. Number 6...Edward I Canterbury mint.

Please put me right if I get them wrong. Number 7..Edward I type 9a star on kings chest letter A barred, C and E rounded. London mint. Number 8..Edward I type 5 London mint. Number 9.. I would say Edward I going on the shape of the crown. but no idea what the mint would be, looks like ..CIVI/TAS/E- - O/NI-

Thanks Dave just looking, found a few of them but I'm not completely sure of class. number 9 has me completely stumped, cant even tell what the mint is.

Number 9 1.1g 18mm across.

Number 8 1.4 g 18mm across.

A few more please. for positive i.d and class please. number 7 1.4 g 18mm across.

Number 6 1.2 g 18mm across

Number 5 1.4 g 18mm across.

A few more for I,d and class please. number 4 18.5 mm across 1.2g

Number 3 19mm across 1.4 g

Number 2 20mm across 1.4 g

Hi. Any chance of positive i.d s and class on a few Edward coins I have please. Thanks for any help. Number 1 20mm across 1.5 g

Haha I like my nativity theory better ? Have a great Christmas.

I have owned one of these coins for many years, the coin in the picture is not mine though. I have always wondered what the celt who cut the design was thinking. So here is my Christmas interpretation of the design. The coin was minted at the time of the birth of Christ. So here goes, in the centre of the coin we see the triple tailed horse with a great big square muzzle and huge ears, my thinking is it's more like a donkey. Sitting on the back of the donkey is the hidden face very small but maybe a baby. Then directly above is the small curved shape, to my thinking this could be a Celtic round house or maybe a stable. On each side of the stable there is a pellet, maybe two people possibly called Mary and Joseph. Looking over to the left of the coin there are three pellets and under the C of Catti is a tiny star shaped pellet to the east of the three pellets on the left, maybe just maybe the three pellets on the left could be the three wise men following the star just over the stable. Then looking directly under the donkey we see the wheel, the wheel of life as documented in different religions. Maybe the wheel represents that the life of Jesus will go on and on. Now we come to the reverse of the coin. It is said the Christmas tree was started in the 16th century in Germany by devote Christians. They decorated there trees with candle and apples a sign of undiing life. Maybe looking at this coin the celts were thinking exactly the same. ? Happy Christmas all.
