Easter Themed Coins

4 posts • viewed 50 times

One theme in my collection involves religious iconography, so I thought I would post a few Easter themed coins appropriate to the season (posting the Easter scene first even if it's not the obverse).

 

Duchy of Ferrara scudo of Hercules II (1534-1559) showing Mary Magdalene grieving at the foot of the cross (N#116632):

 

Venice half grosso of Andrea Dandolo (1343-1354) showing Christ stepping out of his tomb (N#114196):

A non-coin:

 

N#405172

 

I won't post the other 15.

It fits the topic … that's all that matters 😊.

 

Back to Renaissance Italy and Mary Magdalen again … This 1582 Papal States teston from Ancona refers to John's account of Easter morning where Mary mistakes the risen Christ for a gardener  (Note that he holds a shovel!  N#449797

A coin from apostolic and the Kingdom of Judeia
