Country road produced hammered 1654 silver and others

[Bartek]

Still traveling Europe. Went out today to a dirt road across the lake from an old town and managed few keepers.

2 hammered coins. 1671 Solidus and silver 1654 Livonia Solidus.

Also a German 1874 Pfennig and silver 1823 1/2 Groschen.


Also pulled this Square (coin??) it has what appears a Knight with sword and shield and letter "G", obverse has some floral/flame pattern with letters "RVI", any help with id would be appreciated, it's approx 19mm at its widest and 2mm thick:



Thanks for looking, happy hunting TN!

The square coin might be medieval from city of Antwerp.

Awesome digs Bart. I sure wish I could be swinging with you. Looking forward to your next post Bro.

Those are some awesome old coins. To think that here in the midwest I feel good about finding a coin from the 1800's.

Looking at this, it looks like you may have a coin weight. Style would suggest that, and it might be that your flora/flame motif is actually a hand, which seems to fit. Anyway, nice finds.

Congrats on some great finds

 

[CRUSADER]

Agreed with David its an Antwerp Coin Weight (Square one). Should be easy to date it with the initials RVI.

Oh, you wouldn't listen to your old friend Steve that it was a coin weight?! Lol

Great finds again buddy. Like I told you, I really like that weight and a square one is on my list. Keep at it and you'll find more hammered silver!
