My oldest coin is a copper Roman coin with no date. Sadly, my oldest coin with a date is only 1862. :)
That is really neat that you have a coin from the 1400's!!! Keep collecting!!!!!
My OLDEST coin is a NGC Spanish Medieval Cities of Leon & Castile 1312-50 9D Quarter sized Silver MS62! Of King Alfonso XI!
Spain did not exist until 1501.
King Alfonso's XI father was King Ferdinand IV. King FerdinandIV died while his wife Queen Constance of Portugal was pregnant.
After King Ferdinand died the 2 cities he controlled had NO KING!
King Alfonso XI was put into tutoring to become King.
In the 1300's a person was not considered a responsible adult until age 15!
In 1327 King Alfonso XI became 15. King AlfonsoXI FIRED his tutors & became King!
King Alfonso was a Real Fighter! He killed for reasons of State w/o trial!
King Alfonso ELMINATED the control of the Moors in Spain. The Moors had ruled Spain since the800,s.
The LAST major attack by the Moors on Europe was the Battle of Rio Salado lost to King AlfonsoXI in 1340.
King Alfonso was the ONLY European King to die of the BLACK DEATH in the Siege of Gibraltar in 1350. (Died at age 38)
Thanks!
I had a few ancients. Not sure of when they were struck. I have owned British coins from the 1700s. Sorry I can't be more exact! Oldest US coin I ever got in change was 1910 cent.
Mine dates back to the time of Christ. Some coins that old don't have dates but they know when there from. You will be surprised how old coins have that collectors own. Good for you enjoy it. Mike.
