This one was found in Baden-Württemberg, should be Silver or Billon and looks like one side minted..but I'm not really shure about that, even if I brought them Pictures in the exact position.. I know, it is a little away from the States..so I think "pigs might fly" for this one. kind regards, Niloc Attached Thumbnails     Last edited by Niloc; 10-25-2009 at 05:07 AM.   10-24-2009, 07:29 PM   #2 (permalink) Ardatirion FVTVE FATVM     Join Date: Jun 2007 Location: ZZ9 Plural Z Alpha Posts: 2,665 My Mood: Medieval Germany is one of my weak spots.

Compare http://home.eckerd.edu/~oberhot/fp3bg.jpg which is not the same coin, but displays a similar altar design on the reverse and is a Gros Tournois from Louis XI (1226-70).
