Image Title: Coins of Europe

Description: This page contains various European coins of the sixteenth-century, most of which bear the names of monarchs. The first coin of the left column features an inscription which names a King James of Scotland, perhaps referring to the third or fourth James to hold that title. The next couple of coins contain the names and arms of Mary Stuart, queen of Scots (r. 1542-1567), and Holy Roman Emperor Charles V, and these are followed by two similar coins naming King John III of Portugal (r. 1521-1557). The next-to-last coin in the left column is of Genoa and bears the name of crusader King Conrad III of Germany (r. 1138-1152). Finally, the bottom left coin is of Lorraine: while the inscription honors King Charles IX of France (of the Valois; r. 1560-1574), the coin contains the arms of Lorraine's house of Guise. The right column begins with another coin of Lorraine, this one with a portrait of Charles IX. The next two coins are Swiss: the first, of Geneva, contains the city's arms, which are an eagle and a crossed key; the second, of Unterwalden, contains arms with a cross and a ring-nosed bull. The remaining five coins were minted under Holy Roman Emperor Charles V. Two coins of Dol, a town in modern-day Brittany, contain the Holy Roman Empire's symbolic eagle and inscriptions with Charles V's title AVGUSTVS IMPERATOR. The next two coins, of Flanders, bear portraits of Philip the Apostle holding a Gospel and a crossed staff, and of Charles V holding a globus cruciger and a sword. Finally, a coin from Guelders depicts Charles on horseback; the arms of Guelders appear on the reverse.
