Killer Weekend with Roman, Medieval and modern Silver

[Westfront]

I discovered a field of 'just' 24 acre with signs of roman occupation. It took me one afternoon to roughly figure out the most promising area. Yesterday we started gridding with 3 detectors for 4hrs. It took a while for the first roman artifacts. The first good find was on me, a nice terret ring. Soon after my buddy dug a beautiful amimal brooch with a bull. Coins were rare and i still didn't know exactly how to read this site. During my first raid on this field i dug a medieval strap end and two silver coins. One is toast the other is a 1806 III Stuber. Yesterday i dug VIII Heller Cologne 1576 and a beautiful medieval Denarius probably 13th C. Still not IDed properly, seems to be rare. I completed the silver run through 2000 years today with a Roman Denarius. I need Cru Dad's help for ID here. Didn't find a match....
Another first class find is the whatsit with a dog face/theatre mask.
Oldest find is a frag of a Neolithic flint blade, youngest and most delicious find was a bucket full of fresh harvested potatoes.

Thanks for looking!

Translating the source I offered, it states St. Paul is shown on the reverse.
Don.........

St Peter & Paul are often depicted together but normally its St Peter with the key to Heaven, so thats a bit odd.

The king looks closer but the St's holding a sword.

Maybe the key doesn't match and he took a sword instead later on?
I wrote the collector some lines, waiting for a reply.

I think it is this one or if not 100% same then definitely the same ruler or a different version of this coin:

Bruno von Isenburg 1251-1258. Pfennig, Osnabrück. 1,15 g. Brustbild des Bischofs mit Stab und Buch / OS-EN Kopf St. Petri in geperlter Raute. Kennepohl 68.


Due to the excentric strike, they look a bit different but the bishop is the give-away sign for me, isk what do u guys think?

 

[Benjamin52]

Definitely Bruno von Isenburg!

OSNABRÜCK, BISTUM, Bruno von Isenburg, 1250-1258
Pfennig o.J. Brb.des Bischofs mit Stab und Buch. Rs.St.Petrus v.vorn mit Schlüssel. 1,32g. Kennep.69, sehr selten

This one is estimated at 335 Euroes, yours is a tiny bit more worn but still a very rare coin!!!!

What an amazing find! Like a lot have ppl have already said, i think the Medieval coin might be even more interesting. Funny how the romans were able to mint cleaner struck coins than kingdoms centuries later.

Close enough, not sure the obverse letters match 'BRONO' yet & the 'S' on the reverse is a 'T' on Westfronts but at least it states St. Petrus which makes sense & now I realise its a Bishops hat on the obverse & he is holding a book (bible) & staff.

I believe it is a variation of that same coin maybe... the differences are to small to be an entirely different coin version?

Thanks! It took almost 1000 years to get comparable skills crafting coining dies like the Romans.

Sweet find. Would look great up top

Mystery solved! Great research, thanks!

I would be 90% happy with that assumption.

I would be 90% happy with that assumption.

I'm waiting for a reply of the coin specialist i wrote yesterday. Hope he can help with the last 10%.
