    Another stunning coin @panzerman. What amazing detail on something almost 7 centuries old.

    @panzerman - another beautiful coin. I have always thought of collecting a coin from each French King - you must must be close to this now?

    scottishmoney Buh bye

    Obviously neither of your coins saw much circulation and have nice original flans without the waviness associated with coins that changed hands, got hauled around.

    When I was in Paris a few years ago visiting Monnaie de Paris the boutique there were selling a medal that was based on the franc a pied and I bought one and have kept it. I bought some other gold coins there, but wish I hadn't sold them later.
