An Ancients Guy Lost

Ok, some of you know me from the crazy Ancients guys. So, I ventured outside my comfort and knowledge area today and purchased this medieval crusader style coin. I know nothing about it including it's worth but took a step of faith and purchased it for a paltry $18. Good or bad, this will not break the bank. Please, if any of you sane and normal World Coins guys can put me on the right scent to identify this, I'd greatly appreciate your help.



BTW, these are the seller's images. I do not have it in hand yet. I am way out of my element here.

I believe it's a French feudal denier struck by the bishops of Valence and Die
between 1157 and 1276 AD

I thought it was an ugly bird instead of an angel lol

 

Me too. Actually I thought it might be an owl. Funny looking owl. Well, I appreciate your assistance. Is it worth the $18 I spent?

 

An angel? ...





Good looking score, my friend => man, you're like a fish outta water, eh?

 

I thought it was a flying monkey

 

nice to see you getting medieval bing! i'm not very familiar with these coins but from the few of the sort i've seen that looks like a pretty solid one!

why the squiggles on the obverse and revers pics?

 

Squiggy?

 

Seller's images. Has his logan at the bottom. I tried to cut it off, but that much remained.

 

ummm, I don't know what a logan is => but is that a dude ridin' a goat?

 

"Getting medieval" usually means someone is in for a serious whoopin'

 

Sorry about that. It was suppose to say "logo", but when using this darn tablet it corrects you when it doesn't like the word you use.

 

I totally understandenheimer, my friend
