Both of the coins are silver and I found them close to the site of a deserted medieval village which was given up in 1420. Up to now I haven't found any gold coins there.

Nice coins, folkert. It almost looks like hands on the top coins. What are the imprints of?

Those are hands! The coins are called "Hand hellers" for obvious reasons. I've heard of them.

Amazing finds! You folks in Europe sure make me jealous!

Pretty cool those coins having to do with representing Christ, instead of some ruler, kind, president, etc...
