ID help needed - Greek & medieval

spoon

Picked these up at today's coin show unattributed. Any and all help would be appreciated! (I've got a few more crusty Romans to ID, I won't bother ya with those just yet )

The Greek one.. Seleucid? not sure. Probably a diobol at 11mm. - larger pic
Identified as Pergamon, under Philetairos (possibly posthumous), c282-133 BC, Sear 7232.


This one has to be Italian.. I know I know it, just can't name it... (~18mm) - larger pic
Identified as Antwerp under Charles V (or I), c1540-1550s, corta.


Pretty sure this one is Italian too, but I'm having trouble deciphering the letters and placing them... (14mm) - larger pic
Identified as Verona under Frederick II, c1218-1250, denaro.

Sapyx

The Greek one is a small bronze of the Kingdom of Pergamon, in the name of king Philetairos (though probably struck after his death, in the period 282 - 133 BC). Obverse Apollo, reverse tripod with Greek FILE / TAIROY on either side. Listed in Sear, number 7232.

I can't help much with the other two, except to point out that the lion on the middle (bronze) one has two tails, a symbol often used by Bohemia.

Thanks a million! That looks spot on for the greek!

I think the copper is Charles V, though that doesn't narrow the geographic possibilities too much
I'm still scatterbrained on that one....

I think I see "HISP REX" on the second one - try Spain.

#2 Spanish Netherlands? Charles I

A couple of examples in this thread.

Thanks guys!

I think this is it., minted in Antwerp c.1540s-1550s.
There is similar type minted in Bruges, but that one spells out "Carolvs", which mine doesn't.

Anyone know what the english term for the denom is? It seems the spanish language sites are referring to it as a "corta".


Still stumped on that silver one... the reverse looks like D/EV/D/?

CIVITAS

The last coin is a silver denaro from the Italian State of Verona. Probably 1100-1300.

CIVITAS

More specifially, of Frederick II 1218-1250 A.D.

Believe it or not, the reverse legend is actually CI VI CI VF

The 'F' is retrograde and the 'V's are upside down. Pretty typical for the issue.

Here's one just like it: Link
Thanks Josh, I was looking all over France as I thought it looked French Feudal.

You just made my day Josh! Thanks!

That's actually been on my "someday" list, but it must've been so long since I looked I completely forgot what they look like. According to my grandmother, one of our relatives in Italy hired a professional genealogist who traced our lineage back to the Veneto area between Verona and Venice, coming from what's now Austria in the 1200s. This one's a keeper!

And I only paid $2 for it!
