I think this has to be the most beautiful gold coin I have plucked from the ground. This was found some 25 years ago, every time I look at it I think about the poor person that dropped it. It still has luster around the legends.

Really interesting chaps, thanks for the comments. Just out of interest Would larger coins such as crowns and half crowns be heated before hammering.

The first coin Ricard on Nicol looks very much like ficard, but can't find that moneyer. so must be Ricard.

Thanks Peter and Rob, so someone hit the punch slightly to the left, not a direct hit, On the second strike.

I didn't get a chance

Hope so, was talking to my dad at the weekend about my coins, was saying I have no idea what most of them are or worth. I just find them, give them a quick wash and into the box. But I do love looking at them, tiny pieces of art.

The shapes of the letters I find difficult ... I cant tell if they are square or rounded... they all look similar, the early ones, wedge shaped seem ok ...lol you will have to have a look at my i.d s .. put me right. I'm sort of totally lost with sub classes
-
post yours up mate, I will have a look for it
-
I'm getting the bug of trying to i.d my coins, I got myself a copy of the short - cross coinage by Christopher r wren, I had a few more short cross coins will put them up with my own interpretation of what I think they are lol.
-
Turns out this little coin is a denier of Floris V, Count of Holland (1256-96) struck early in the reign, Voided long cross on the reverse, very rare. The type has been traced but as yet no specimens fit the legend, so work still in progress. Thanks to Peter Spencer the editor and compiler of ID & V Desk in the searcher.
