    Picked up another Medieval coin.

    AV Agnel d'or ND Angers Mint/ Struck October 21st. 1417
    France/ Valois Rulers
    Charles VI "le Fol" 1380-1422

    Nicknamed aptly "the Fool" or "the Mad" under his rule France was bankrupt/ totally humiliated by the English Occupation. Charles ended up ruling over a tiny fraction of France at Rheims. Even the coinage was of poor mint quality, as you can see with my coin....sad france-kingdom-charles-vi-le-6355602-XL.jpg

    physics-fan3.14 You got any more of them.... prooflikes?

    I see the reverse is a well decorated shield, but I can't figure out what the obverse is supposed to be. Can someone explain what I'm looking at?

    Yes, France and Burgundy both struck "Mouton d'ors" and "Agnel d'ors".

    As @PaulTudor mentioned, it is the agnus dei, or “Lamb of God”.
