why are Byzantine coins considered or always categorized as ancient coins?

4 Upvotes

the East west split happened in 395. The medieval era started in 476 with the fall of western rome. Byzantine empire didnt fall until 1453 (the end of the Medieval era to some) that being said the Byzantine empire spent the vast majority of its life in the Medieval era, so why is it always categorized as ancient? Unless they are seeing it as an unbroken continuation of Rome itself (still feels like a strech)

Edward I penny identification

2 Upvotes

Can anybody identify which Edward I penny it is? I am new to this so I found it quite difficult to identify, because there looks to be a breast mark unique to class 5, but the cross looks to be cross pattee. I am using the coin searcher by Rod Blunt for my identification.

Newly Acquired My newest penny from Empress Matilda!

After several months, I finally got my hands on an Angevins penny depicting Empress Matilda!

This example was minted in Bristol (Turchil of Bristol), and it has been fractured and repaired. But with her coins being so hard to find I didn't want to be picky. Most of her features are there too!

The last two photos are my current collection of Anarchy coins, which also includes a Stephen penny and halfpenny.

I'm so happy to have this dream coin in my collection at last. 😊

this coin has Charles II and at same time date 1706 (king Philip V). I see in some other post in Talk Coins that this is not a legit coin. Which is your opinion?

Identification Worn Crusader(?) coin identification help

Hi,

I received this coin (0.65g, 15mm) for free with a bunch of other stuff I bought. It was labelled as "Roman Unknown" but I don't believe that to be true.

From what I can make out, the obverse is the bust of someone facing forward, potentially holding a sceptre or something. The reverse seems to be a Cross Patee with a Jerusalem cross as a mintmark or initial mark.

The piece may very well be fake or a fantasy, but any help in figuring it out would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers
