Need some IDing of a couple coins.

Very, very thin. Looks to be copper?

Could be silver? Don't know the orientation of the coin.

Any help is greatly appreciated. TIA.

Bottom one looks like a Samanta Deva AR Jital
Kingdom of Zabul, Samanta Deva, 900-940 A.D. Obv: Humped bull Rx: Horseman riding right carrying long lance

Thanks Bronzemat. Very helpful.

Anyone have any ideas on the first coin?

bronzemat · June 19, 2011 11:05AM

Forgot to add, it is silver. Sorry about that.

Thanks. So I did OK with my 75c purchase at a local coin show today?

Googled what I could make out on the top coin:
rex carol II arch plus "coin". Here's what I found:

Belgian Brabant Ku Carolus II von Spanien (1665-1700) Brabant, Brüssel

Maybe not an exact match, but it looks like it might help...

Yes, the silver one averages $15-$40. Those types of coins are notorious for being off center, it's very hard to get all the details in those types. Yours would fall in the $15 range.

First one looks like Flanders (3 o'clock on left pic), Spanish Netherlands, 1 liard. These list at around $10 in VG but it depends on the look - that one's a really cool junk box find but probably only a buck or two.

The second I usually see as generic "Bull & horseman jitals" - I've never bothered to figure out the differences, but there are a few listed with pics here
