What Are Coin Dies & Coin Mules? | Hammered Coin History

[@ClassicalNumismatics]

Some museums have reverse dies on display and it is a fascinating thing. The poor things really were used to the bitter end, having the side that received the hammer blow completely destroyed by repeated blows to a point that they look like metal mushrooms.

Another great video. Thank you for making me aware of Mules. It's another good attribution challenge and I look forward to trying to spot them.

I'm well aware of mule coins but didn't think that this has been happening on and off properly as long as coins themselves thanks for the wake up call 😁👍

[@AndrejBk]

nice, here in former Hungarian kingdom, we are happy if coins before 1300 can be at least attributed to certain king, thanks to large volume of anonymous coinage and very little preserved records

[@Caligulashorse1453]

Can some type of mule coins be cheaper then a average priced coin?

How many men created the coins? Was it one man working 10 hours a day? Was it 3 men each working 8 hour shifts? Or was it something else? Ignoramus here.
