A mediaeval coin...

Abuelo

Something I have never posted before. A coin minted in Avignon by Pope Martin V (1417-1431). One Carlin (Ber.286). Rev "Santus Petrus et Paulus" Obv "Martinus PP Quintus". Something different for tonight.

I guess I’m a few days behind. But @Abuelo this is something totally unexpected from you!

I consider Carlos y Juana to be medieval, and this reminds me of that style, though a century earlier.

Are you starting a new area of collecting?

I have an example of this coin and it was represented to weigh 2.07 grams.

@pruebas saw the coin and liked it. Will see what happens...

Do you know what the hand gesture he's making is supposed to mean back then?
