<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Curtisimo, post: 8074302, member: 83845&quot;]Thanks [USER=74712]@FitzNigel[/USER] !&nbsp; As to your question I wouldn’t presume to think I know more about the iconography than you would. As always I am interested in your take when it comes to medieval coinage. My research has led me believe that the temple coins of Louis the Pius developed into the chateau tournois design through the progression shown in the OP diagram.</p><p><br /></p><p>This photo is from CNG and shows the supposed inspiration for the design according to the hypothesis.&nbsp; Seems plausible to me.&nbsp; I thought the possibility was actually quite fascinating.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1401350[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
