Have a nice day.

I rated it as: Hungary Quartering - Zsigmond

N#48166

 

Size Comparison:

 

The metal is silver

Weight:0,36g

Size:12,67mm

Th:0,59mm

 

Is this a coin? and are the letters A-F? "F is harder to read",    the weight of my coin? I have it 3 times heavier and yet the size is smaller???

Those values ​​on ,,numist, are meaningless!! 

 

Mine is half a millimeter thick and that is a really thin coin - with the weight on the website 0.12 and size 14 it would be as thin as paper and that is not possible with silver!

Did I hit it?

And please, could someone explain to me what the letters on the coin mean?

During this period, the minting sheet was hammered. There is no way that the sheet thickness is the same. When cutting such small discs, the differences in weight could be +-30%. This was not uncommon at the time. The method of making the mint sheet and the method of punching the coins favored such differences in weight and size. That is why the above-mentioned but Marco method was used, i.e. from a mint fine of appropriate maltness, an appropriate number of coins should be created with a total weight in accordance with the then Mining Act. 

The weight on N is probably given for this copy from the photo. Normally most have a weight of 0.3-0.5g. Mint designation letters. These coins were minted in many places. Are you sure it's F? Maybe A-n would be Székesfehérvár then.

Have a nice day neighbor.

+/- 30 Yes but no 300%.       The coin size on the website is 14mm and weighs just over 0,1 g of silver.   0,1gram  is such a small unit of silver that you can't knock it down to the size of a 14mm coin - it would be as thin as toilet paper and bend in your fingers.

 

( Now half an hour ago I was casting the liquid heated metal onto my coin and after it had cooled I was tapping it with a hammer to the size of my coin-I will mint the coins tomorrow for my stay - throwing on the beach in Bulgaria,, I just have to apply a 1000 year old patina,,)

 

*That's why I claim that 14 mm of silver cannot have0,1 g for minting coins

 

Yes please, I'm not sure if the second letter is ,,F,,   - that's why I put it here to ask the opinion of Hungarian collectors.

 

And please where can I find this list of mints Cities by these letters in Hungary?

And thank you for the previous answer Ivan

Check out these examples. There are even larger coins weighing 0.12g. Brakteat. 

Hello
I weighed it

I put the weight check on the US cent:

it should have 2.5 g, so the 2 hundredths is the accuracy tolerance of both my scale and the coin

 

I compared a sample with a thickness of 1 cent:

And now imagine that mine is three times heavier and smaller than the one on the website

 

I just have a doubt and something doesn't seem right.

Please, where can I find the letters - the marks on the coins - the markings (probably not mints?)

 

Take a look at the weight of approximately the same size coin - that's the second one you sent me, that's the real weight of these coins:

0,31 g, 11,27mm

 

And thank you for your help - I'm already so confused that I put this comparison on another thread for the other coin(because I am doing research on other similar coins at the same time)   ,, the wife says - those who play do not get angry,,

 


Hi and thank you

Ahoj

I wasn't wrong after all.

here I found the same coin, though with different letters, as mine . It's just a ,,numista,,s mistake - someone didn't have this coin and just described it based on something they didn't hold

.14mm ,0,5 g

13mm, 0,43g

 

our records are not correct?
