Richard2 Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 Hi, some help needed with this cut half please, Alexander III first coinage, , not sure the type though. I can make out RES ON on the reverse .so according to Spink the mint of ‘FRES’ I’m assuming. That could be Walter type III, VII,VIII or Wilam type III. Looking at the coins in the book(page 17) the King doesn’t appear to show pellets for a beard like my coin does. Coins of Alexander II and William I show the King with a beard but no mention of the mint of FRES , wherever that is. Thanks in advance Richard Quote
Richard2 Posted January 26, 2018 Author Posted January 26, 2018 Before someone else points it out ,I’ve got it wrong of course. That’s the moneyers name you can see not the mint. Quote
Richard2 Posted January 26, 2018 Author Posted January 26, 2018 So there was a Pieres at Roxburgh during Alexander II. So I think I might have solved it myself. Or have I ? Quote
Ukstu Posted January 30, 2018 Posted January 30, 2018 I think that's correct. Pieres is sometimes also seen as Peris on Roxburgh coins of Alexander II. Spink ref : 1536. 1 Quote
