Just a community for everyone to share artifacts, reconstructions, or replicas for the historically-inclined to admire!
Generally, an artifact should be 100+ years old, but this is a flexible requirement if you find something rare and suitably linked to an era of history, not a strict rule. Anything over 100 is fair game regardless of rarity.
Generally speaking, ruins should go to [email protected]
Illustrations of the past should go to [email protected]
Photos of the past should go to [email protected]

Did they have automated coin prints in the 13th century? The printing press wasn't invented untill two hundred years later.
Regardless, you're probably right. However it was stamped or pressed was messed up. The design is pressed on top of itself in a few places.
Someone shared a bit more info in another comment apparently they were cast this way on purpose!
