The following are links to sites that discuss medieval (and occasionally
later) coins to some extent. Sites that merely illustrate a few medieval
coins are not included. Sites marked with a "***" are highly
recommended viewing either for comprehensiveness or sheer quality.
THE MEDIEVAL
COINS GROUP
The best set of links and discussion about medieval
coinage I've found (in English at least). I would encourage anyone
with an interest in medieval coins to join the (sadly inactive of
late) mailing list and contribute.
EVERYCOUNTRY
Everycountry is a large Yahoo mailing list (160+ members) maintained
by collectors of coins whose goal is at least one piece from as many
different issuing authorities as possible. An ever-growing checklist
of coin issuing states, cities, and other minting authorities is available.
Medieval and early modern coins are always welcome for discussion
and the group holds a monthly online voice chat through Yahoo Messenger
on the first Friday of each month.
DENMARK
· *** Dansk Mønt
- Probably the most comprehensive online catalogue and discussion
of medieval and modern Danish Coins. Start here before searching in
vain elsewhere!

coins through roughly 1300 AD.

its monetary history with nice illustrations of dies and coins.

Welfen - Covers the Brunswick dynasties (Luneburg, Hannover,

Münsteraner Münzen - A few dozen photos from
this German city and region are shown, some from the medieval period.

Münzen - Fantastic online catalogue of hundreds
of coins from the little state(s) of Waldeck-Pyrmont in Germany! Must
be seen to be believed, the designer should be highly commended for
his execution of the project. Javascript must be turned on.
