Latin Unical Sctipt Dates of Usage

In trying to get the Numista Robot to assign correct Latin to coins, I could do with some rough dates that the Latin Uncial script was in use. From my limited research it's hard to pin a date down but seems that gothic became more used in 14th Century….? Starting with the anglo-saxon period…?

I think something like 1300-1500 for France and Low Countries, but it varied by issuer to some extent, and there was a gradual transition at the end, making it rather difficult to automate.  

 

For example, Milan had moved away from uncial/gothic by 1470s:  N#471448

Same for Naples:  N#447692

But In Brabant it was still in use:  N#310740

Unical Generally-

Origins 3rd century

Peak usage 4th - 8th century

Decline as body script 8th century

Usage as title or display script 8th -13th centuries

That's a bit too small to read:

New computer and OS, trying to figure everything out.

On the grounds of what Numista interprets as unical, it phased out in the 1500s (maybe a couple stragglers here and there).

Yes I thought that was the case. I was going to propose anything after Charles II for English coins being just latin…thoughts?

I used our search function on England with filter latin (uncial) for the Script field, and the latest coins that came up were under Mary.  Looking at examples, I agree with uncial for the ones that are marked as such.  

Then I quickly scanned through Elizabeth's coins and did not see any with uncial script, so maybe you can go earlier than Charles II?

Yes I agree Mary 1554 as Philip and Mary doesnt have it
