Rob Posted December 24, 2016 Posted December 24, 2016 (edited) Does anybody remember the 11-14th century medieval penny/denier/whatever with the large flat based crown, facing bust and hair which looks like a Christmas tree either side, ie triangular with a pot at the bottom representing curls - it is quite distinctive. Where was it issued and by whom? I can't find a picture of it to show. Thanks. Edited December 24, 2016 by Rob Quote
Rob Posted January 5, 2017 Author Posted January 5, 2017 No response so far and this is bugging me, and yes, I know there's a hole in it. Long cross, 3 pellets in each angle on the reverse and I'm pretty certain it's contemporary with the northern european sterling imitations of the 13/14th centuries. Anyone with a copy of Engel et Serreure or the full version of Chautard? It isn't in the abridged set of plates of the latter published in the 1960s. Ta. Quote
Colin G. Posted January 6, 2017 Posted January 6, 2017 I have asked a few friends who may be able to assist Quote
Colin G. Posted January 6, 2017 Posted January 6, 2017 @Rob is there anything on the Reverse that is legible? Quote
