Most medieval coins had highly stylized portraits of kings, nearly all of whom looked very much alike. A couple of coins, like some of King Harold II, were more real looking, but these were exceptional.
Many medieval coins had only words on them. Many had crosses as their only device. Some coins of the Danelaw had Viking swords or hammers.
One coin had the likeness of a Queen Cynethryth, the wife of King Offa of Mercia, who is said to have been the only Anglo-Saxon woman to appear on a coin, though the name looks Welsh to me.
There was a coin that had King Stephen with Queen Matilda, but I am not sure whether this was Queen Matilda of Boulogne, his wife, or Empress Matilda, against whom he had fought a war and whose son was his heir.
These are British coins. The continental coins were similar.
In 1500, life would have been different depending on social status and wealth. For example, a peasant may have life very difficult, working for a knight or lord ruling the land that they farm on. Knights would own pieces of land in return for allegiance to the king and barons, and the barons would in turn have knights to serve them in battle or in daily life. This was known as the feudal system.
Life in a castle or fort may have been incredibly tough, as the first medieval forts have been made, and because of the harshness of punishments for petty crimes, even if you may have been innocent.
