    That's an absolutely beautiful florin. I love the fine style of the die engraving. It's a very well done coin. Congratulations on the fine addition to the collection. Here is my meager Metz coin.

    Congratulations for all!
    The medieval coins of Metz are always made with na artistic content of excellence, higher than the other coins of the same period (well, maybe the same level of Vlanderen).
    This coin is supernatural, Panz!
    The @TheRed gros is also neat!
