12/02/25: CONTEST CLOSED. The winner was @RiveraFamilyCollect.

This pair of neat early-dated silver coins were donated by Louie J, aka @Tibor.

Prior to 1600, most European coins were undated, but these coins clearly bear the year (1537 and 1538) above the coat of arms on one side of each coin, and a portrait of the Virgin Mary and baby Christ child on the other.

Want 'em? Just say so, and be sure to thank @tibor.

We'll have a random drawing on or shortly after December 1, 2025.

Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.

    Yes, I would like them and be the oldest in my collections.

  • JeffersonFrogJeffersonFrog Posts: 1,107 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Cool, they would be a nice (and oldest) addition. Thank you tibor, thank you lordmarcovan.

    If we were all the same, the world would be an incredibly boring place.

    Llamas and alpacas are camels. They aren't like camels, or related. They are camels. When was anyone going to tell me this?! How long had Bill Nye been holding out on us?
