<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2522728, member: 19463&quot;]Your first two make a good point about why I am less active in medieval than I might like to be.&nbsp; The first is a nice coin and not all that hard to read if you have seen a few punch lettered types.&nbsp; Unfortunately, my skills don&#039;t go so far as telling the difference between three rulers listed or to tell you anything about any of them.&nbsp; The Henry is hard enough to read that your spelling out the legend still leaves me scratching my head.&nbsp; When I thing of medieval coins, this is what comes to mind.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another problem is shown by the coin below clearly labeled RICARDVS I and ROTOMAGVS.&nbsp; Perhaps you know that Richard I the Lionhearted heart was buried at Rouen Cathedral (Rotomagus) but this coin is not THAT Richard but Richard I or Normandy.&nbsp; Bummer.&nbsp; I&#039;m harder to confuse with ancients because I have been interested in them longer.&nbsp; The list of people who issued medieval coins is huge!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]538114[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
