Quote: "phfoticus"So, we're expecting 1508 and 1505 for this thread? I'll hold off on posting those.
Any other years between 1509 and 1498? If I don't hear anything today, I'll post 1509 tonight and then wait for 1508.
I have 1497. if we reach it, also had a few others but I was too slow, after 1497. my next one is 1383.
I collect and deal in ancient Roman coin. In case you're looking for affordable ancient coins or need any help with the coins you already have send me a message.
I missed 1517 and 1513 (had no photos anyway), and my next date is 1323, I think?
Might have one or two more in the 15th or 14th century (I don't recall whether I'm imagining some purchases, and some of my unattributed coins might be dated).

I was honoring the obligatory 24 hours to be fair before adding.

Since we're taking a little break here, I'm gonna give a quick thanks to whoever keeps updating the title (ZacUk I presume) so I don't have to every other day.

Hopefully, you'll take photos of your 1517 and 1513 coins for the "How far back can we go (4th edition)" thread over at CCF, before it reaches 1517 and 1513.

The problem with my 1517 is that I hadn't seen it in well over a year. I would have posted it if I could.

whow, a 1323 dated ! What "country" is it from ?

Actually, I should check my example again; it's possible that the date is actually unidentifiable (it's something like 80% off flan, but I thought I could figure out the last digit).
EDIT: still think it's a 3, mostly because it doesn't seem to fit anything else. Could be a 21 that's bunched up really far right, I guess?
EDIT 2: the more I look at my coin and at other examples, the more I'm confused about what the date is. Though it does appear that a lot more is on flan than I thought there was.
Should I post the coin in Numista's identification forum? I do have photos already.
Quote: "phfoticus"The earliest dated denars are from 1503, and they aren't common, so I don't expect many more for this thread.
Certain denars before 1503 can be narrowed down to just one year, if anyone here is an expert on Hungarian denars.
Unfortunately, I am not and I have several ND before 1503.

Quote: "CassTaylor"@phfoticus How far back can you go personally?
Beyond that point we might start running into trouble.
I have coins back to 1498, and I see that cro321 has one from 1497. After that, my next ones are from 1492 and 1491, but I doubt this thread will get that far.

M coin is not dated but the mint mark on it was used only in 1497., if I remember correctly it's ok to post coins like that but I have to ask just to be sure?

Yeah, its fine as long as a coin can be traced back to a year.

My next, and last, is 1481..so far no thread has ever gone that far (of what I know of), so maybe this one could be the first..?
Hungarian silver denár II. Ulászló (1490-1516) with the K - SE mint mark minted only in 1497., my last one for this thread.

The only ND 15th century coin I have remaining is a 1462, then maybe one Roman coin from 326. I continue to look for certain years to fill gaps, but I'm cheap/frugal. I'm done for now.

If anyone acquires a 1496, they're still very much welcome to post on this thread!
Otherwise, I'm glad everyone who participated on it had fun posting their coins, and thanks for helping to break the last thread's record by more than a century.

But none of those are traceable to a single year (1496)....
They are, we only have to read the number "901" on them.
1st link : the last two digits of the date are usually written at bottom left ot the observe (sometimes just under the cartouche). On the numista picture it's the year "٩٠" so 890 AH.
2nd link : bottom of the observe with arabic digits
3rd link : bottom left of the reverse side with arabic digits too (we only see the last digit "٣" on the numista picture)
4th link : same as above (we only see the top of the last two digits "٩٩" of the date on numista).
Last link : I didn't verify all of them, but the date should be written somewhere with arabic digits too.
Most of the oriental coins with arabic legends have dates written on them (sometimes in full) during the medieval period. Unfortunately I mostly have mamluk coins from the 14th century to help with.
Queen Elizabeth I - 1566, with the date clearly visible above the Coat of Arms, but unfortunately no head on the Obverse.
To think, the nobility at the time were walking around in doublet and hose. Sir Francis Drake was taking to the high seas and raiding Spanish and Portuguese shipping (To the Spanish, ‘El Draque’ - The Dragon, was a wayward pirate and a threat to their empire, but a hero to the English Court). And, it was 100 years before the Great Fire of London.

The magic of coins - History in your hand.
I think you are supposed to post a coin from 1495 …
