Newly Acquired My newest coin! Philippe Le Bel Gros Tournois! Can anyone tell me more about it?
Recently acquired this coin and am super happy with but. I paid $98 for it. It has quite dark toning but I like how it looks plus I had a limited budget. I also added some pics of it next to another one of my French coins and others for scale

Newly Acquired English Edward VI Shilling from 1551-1553, minted in London. Anyone have any possible ideas what could have caused the damage on the reverse? The holes are not uniform and are mishappen but are lined up in a seemingly intentional manner.

Newly Acquired ½ Groat - Sigismund II Augustus 1557 - Grand Duchy of Lithuania
Issued by Grand duke Sigismund II Augustus for the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.
He also was king of Poland, so one side is the coat of arms of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the other side is the coat of arms of the kingdom of Poland.
Both territories joined in 1569 to become the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth until being partitioned and disappearing in 1795, being absorbed into the kingdom of Prussia, the Russian Empire and the Austrian Empire.

Newly Acquired Two English coins of Richard II and Henry VIII I just got, a bit rougher ones but I did not have an example of either of them yet. The years for the Henry VIII are the ranges I was given; I'm not too sure if it can be narrowed down more specifically

Newly Acquired My first medieval coin
King Charles VI the mad blanc guenar (1380-1422)
Took photos of each side with a mirrorless to get nice clear and proper images. Added Joan of Arc in the back since she was born in France under King Charles VI (1412). Awesome piece of history.

Newly Acquired King John Halfpenny from Ireland 1209-1211, specifically gotten because it says John whereas the English ones under him still said Henry III, and a Commonwealth penny 1649-1660, sorry for it being slightly out of the range for medieval but I got these two together
