    Nice coin @galba68 . I'd never heard of Floris IV and did a quick search and found out he was a Crusader and killed in a Jousting Tournament. There must be a story around that somewhere.
    Interestingly his regent was Baldwin of Bentheim. I wonder if there is any ancestral link to the Baldwin's the UK coin dealers.
    Thank you for sharing such an interesting coin.

    Very good! Considering what time period you usually find, this one is "hot off the presses", lol. But still very interesting and intriguing story, I bet! Thanks again for posting what you do, and do so well.
