Hello friends, I'm having problems to ID these coins, can anyone help me? I never saw them before - I'm really confused where to search for them... Thanks a lot all help!
Nice coins!!!
a first look :
#4: medal, commemorating something about Henry III
Can you read the date in latin at the bottom?
MDLXXXI ?
Under the bust is propably the date when the medal was made.
1579?
HENRICUS III Dei Gratia FRANCORUM ET ?? REX https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_III_of_France
#1:
MONE (AR)G
(M)ANIENSIS ?
Non est totum quod splendet ut aurum
Rijkdom bestaat niet uit het hebben van veel bezittingen, maar in het hebben van weinig behoeften
Thanks all help, I think I found the coins, The first one is a duit of Zutphen,
the second one is a small denomination of Kampen,
the third one is a duit of Batenburg,
the fourth is a french token or medal of Henry III.
Coin 2:
Correct
This coin is a silver 'stuiver' minted in Kampen. Stuivers are coins with a value of 5 cents. It was probably minted in the early 17th century, though not all sources agree on this and some argue for a date in the late 1500s. On the front side we see a crowned Spanish coat of arms with on the left side a '1' and on the right side an 'S' (= stuiver). Written around the coat of arms it says: MONO ARG IMP CIVI(T) CAMPEN. De back side shows a cross with open heart in the centre. Around it is written: DOMIN-VS.NOS-TER.AD.IVTOR (our Lord helps). https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6MEZIEw6z3Y/VwzgZGGqy7I/AAAAAAAAAyE/shM_2AW08xETD02n8r1IFyj1o0fGU8X5ACLcB/s1600/1SKampenZJ.JPG
