It seems like a lot of coins from that period has and X scratched on them, does anyone know why?
There are several theories, One is that Dragons marked coins in their treasure hoard by making an x on them. But I doubt that is it. Counterfeit coins were often marked with an x. Another is that a person could see how sharp a knife or scalpel was, by how fine a line they could draw on a piece of silver or copper. These lines look very precise from top to bottom and left to right, as if they wanted to find the center of the coin, which in this case happens to be very close to a certain part of the lady's anatomy. I wonder if it part of an old dirty joke. I like the knife theory. Maybe two guys decided who was the better knife sharpener by who could draw the straightest, finest line. Entertainment was hard to come by back then.
