philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 07/07/2014 10:40 pm Welcome! The name on the coin is CAROLVS. The coins of Charlemagne have been commonly given the compliment of reproduction in the modern era. Can we see the other side?

Sap Moderator Australia 16181 Posts	Posted 07/08/2014 07:24 am It appears to be copper; genuine deniers of Charlemagne are supposed to be silver. Other than that, all I can add is that I don't think it's a Westair reproduction; theirs are somewhat more crude-looking. Example on numista. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
Petrus Pillar of the Community Belgium 2895 Posts	Posted 07/08/2014 07:54 am Indeed Sap, here is a drawing from a book about Carolus coins. All these coins are more crude than the one above. This (Original) one wast hammered in Milan. The obverse looks a bit like the one above. If possible I would like to see the other side Report this Post to the Staff
Berkshire413 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 07/14/2014 7:27 pm Thank you for the replies. Please let me know if this opposite side photo helps at all. I haven't the slightest idea if it is real or a replica, but I do not believe it could be any more recent than mid 1940's. If anyone has suggestions on where else I could post these photos, or who else I could ask please post. All feedback is greatly appreciated! Report this Post to the Staff
