ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΑΛΦΩΝΣΟΥ Posted May 7 · Member Share Posted May 7 (edited) I believe is from India. It's a large bronze coin or medal (?) 38 mm, 25.14 g Hopefully this are better pictures. I found on Google German/Austrian queen Kunigunde? Edited May 7 by ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΑΛΦΩΝΣΟΥ Delete 1 pic 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benefactor robinjojo Posted May 7 · Benefactor Benefactor Share Posted May 7 It looks like a medal, but the photos are very blurry. Is there any chance of posting clearer ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Postvmvs Posted May 7 · Member Share Posted May 7 Obverse legend is "HL KUNIGUNDE", where HL is an abbreviation for "heilig" (German => "holy") in this case denoting a Saint. So, it shows St. Cunigunde: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cunigunde_of_Luxembourg https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kunigunde_von_Luxemburg Another example over on CoinTalk: https://www.cointalk.com/threads/help.296947/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΑΛΦΩΝΣΟΥ Posted May 7 · Member Author Share Posted May 7 That's it. It looks like she was an XI century German empress, later made a saint. It's the same as in Cointalk thread. I found no pics of this medal elsewhere so I'd say it's from sometime after she was canonized around XIII century. Thank you all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Etcherdude Posted May 8 · Supporter Share Posted May 8 Judging by style, I’d guess this is likely XIX or XX century, not too old just badly corroded. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
