scott Posted June 3, 2014 Posted June 3, 2014 picked up this Double Tournois, looks like Henri III but the Legend starts at the top rather then at the bottom Quote
davidrj Posted June 5, 2014 Author Posted June 5, 2014 (edited) picked up this Double Tournois, looks like Henri III but the Legend starts at the top rather then at the bottom1587 with Obv legend starting at 12 O'clock and with a point under letter 16 ie under the E of ET would indicate Dijon mint CGKL 44Early French coins use "secret marks" to indicate mint and were gradually replaced by letter designations, although the secret mintmarks were officially replaced by letter designations in 1540This double tournois has both the archaic mark of a point below the 5th letter of the obverse legend (the I of HENRI) and the more modern T both indicating the Nantes mint. The point beneath the 1st 8 of the date on the reverse is thought to be the mark of the engraver Mg Come MenardDavid Edited June 5, 2014 by davidrj Quote
davidrj Posted June 5, 2014 Author Posted June 5, 2014 (edited) and this oneThe Obverse has the mint letter G for Poitiers, plus the O after POL for the mintmaster Ollivier. The reverse has the traditional secret mark for Poitiers the point under letter 8 Edited June 5, 2014 by davidrj Quote
