<p>[QUOTE="seth77, post: 3901062, member: 56653"]According to Kool (p. 146) your type is contemporary to the specimen I posted. But that is if you just take into account the shape of the A (btw, your specimen seems to have what Kool calls the "chevron A" type). However, if you take into account the design of the Rotonda and the lack of any dot or annulet as a privy mark inside the obverse legend, then your coin seems to be a bit earlier than the specimen presented above. How early is a matter of speculation and imagination mostly. By the look and taking into account all of the components, I would say your coin is cca. 1170 or maybe a bit later, so during the later part of Amalric's reign, but a lifetime issue.</p><p><br /></p><p>A preliminary dating/sequence of the types proposed by Kool according to the shape of A's here:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1028185[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>This very schematic picture is at least useful to a certain extent to put specific coins in context inside the larger confines of the type, which was minted from 1164 as a "heavy denier."

A preliminary dating/sequence of the types proposed by Kool according to the shape of A's here: [ATTACH=full]1028185[/ATTACH] This very schematic picture is at least useful to a certain extent to put specific coins in context inside the larger confines of the type, which was minted from 1164 as a "heavy denier."
