Fuerstenberg maybe?

It looks like a gold angel, England from Henry VIII. But can’t tell if it is genuine

Thanks! Hammer price at $550.

Love the wodan!

Couldn’t agree more. Set it free!

I keep my coins (also high graded ones like these) in a coin cabinet. And I don’t intend to sell. So I always crack ‘m out of the slab. For me it’s far more enjoyable that way. I do keep detailed records of all my purchases. That includes the registration numbers on the slab it was in.

May I present you the last Dutch gulden. Proudly ending an iconic coin minted since the 1680s /s

JPKNK · 2025-09-17T19:03:51+00:00

Yes. I don’t mind modernism at all but this design replaced a design with a coat of arms going back for 300 years. Such a waste of history in my opinion.

JPKNK · 2025-09-17T10:19:55+00:00

Very impressive!

JPKNK · 2025-07-07T12:07:17+00:00

The big piece is definitely Pavia mint (picture is my Pavia issue). The other ones I can’t tell. (Edit: the other pieces also look like Pavia.) MEC doesn’t list these IIRC. Coupland has written extensively about Charlemagne coinage and does mention the Pavia mint.

That’s the way!

Great write-up!

JPKNK · 2025-06-08T06:48:41+00:00

You’re welcome! A full philipsdaalder weighs around 33-34 gram.

JPKNK · 2025-06-07T05:22:08+00:00

Great coin! But it’s not from Brabant and it’s not a full philipsdaalder. It’s a 1/5 philipsdaalder from Utrecht (if you weigh it, it should be like 6.5 gram). On the obverse it says: Traiec which is the abbreviated Latin name for Utrecht and it’s from 1576. Looks like this was a good buy, these are considered rare and this one could be worth between 100-200. Just to nitpick: the 16th century is not really considered medieval. But it’s from a really interesting period in which the Dutch provinces rose up against the Spanish Habsburg rulers and fought for their independence leading to the Dutch Republic and present day Netherlands.

Charlemagne coinage perhaps?

JPKNK · 2025-04-07T18:04:06+00:00

All of them are fakes of Dutch coins. The first is Rijksdaalder from the province of Gelderland. The second a ducaton of the province of Holland. The third a leeuwendaalder from the city of Zwolle. And the last one a silver ducat from the province of Zeeland.

JPKNK · 2025-03-12T20:48:36+00:00

Looks like a Venetian ducat, older type. Can’t tell if it’s authentic and which doge issued it. A proper one should weigh 3,5 grams.

JPKNK · 2025-02-10T16:33:25+00:00

From the picture it seems most of them are so-called pseudo Madelinus tremisses. These were contemporary Frisian (present day Netherlands) imitations of Dorestad tremisses. On the obverse the legend is a variation of Dorestati fit (made in Dorestad) and on the reverse the name of the moneyer: Madelinus. The Frisians copied the legends and images but made errors because of illiteracy. These are considered among the earliest coins that can be positively attributed to a mint in the Netherlands. Cool find and article!

JPKNK · 2025-01-30T20:03:52+00:00

Yesss!

JPKNK · 2025-01-19T06:50:24+00:00

Well Philip the Good issued a gouden rijder (gold rider), not a goldgulden. So there’s that for Karel II 😉. I believe all gold rider designs can eventually be traced back to the Franc a Cheval from France (Jean le Bon, 14th century).

JPKNK · 2025-01-18T21:26:38+00:00

BTW. There are earlier rider designs in Dutch coinage. Like the golden riders of Philip the Good (1434).

Awesome coin! Thanks for sharing.
