Description: Except for a couple of small French coins in the upper left corner, this page presents high-value coins from various European states. English coins appear first: two coins called nobles which feature English kings Edward III (r. 1327-1377) and Henry V (r. 1413-1422) holding a shield and sword; below the noble is the English angel, which represents the archangel Michael fighting a dragon. The bottom coin in the left column begins a series of ducats; this coin is a Spanish doubloon, which features a double portrait of Ferdinand II of Aragon (r. 1479-1516) and Isabella I of Castile and León (r. 1474-1504). The right column contains another ducat of Spain, one from Venice which features Doge Leonardo Loredan (r. 1501-1521), one from Genoa which honors King Conrad III of Germany (r. 1138-1152), and a Hungarian ducat commemorating fifteenth-century king Matthias Corvinus, followed by three ducats from Sicily, Castile, and Aragon, which feature King Ferdinand II.
