<p>[QUOTE=&quot;FitzNigel, post: 4966595, member: 74712&quot;]Fascinating!&nbsp; It never occurred to me that Guy in the tapestry would have minted his own coins!&nbsp; I can add some Norman Deniers which <i>might </i>have been minted by William the conqueror, but we can’t know for certain.&nbsp; Here is my most recent purchase from Normandy:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1193720[/ATTACH] Feudal France - Normandy</p><p>William II-William Clito/Henry I, r. 1035-1135 (1075-1130)</p><p>AR Denier, 17.41 mm x 0.7 grams</p><p>Obv.: +NORMANA. Cross pattee with pellets in angles</p><p>Rev.: Degenerate chapel, pellet in pediment, with four columns/comb, S above annulet on either side</p><p>Ref.: Dumas XX-4, Roberts 4835</p><p>Ex. Lilburn Collection, Ex. Baldwins sale 25 (26 Sept. 2006), part of lot 1984</p><p>Note: Dumas group C et D according to Moesgaard</p><p><br /></p><p>I have wanted this type for some time, and had only seen one for sale once before this one came available.&nbsp; The first one I saw was nicer, and hopefully a better example will come around to replace it.&nbsp; I am not sure why this one is so appealing to me - the columns of the chapel are just more distinctive than many of the other issues from Normandy, and they look kind of like the comb from Champagne (but I highly doubt there is any connection)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
