<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ian, post: 73213, member: 283&quot;]Welcome to the world of coin collecting. The subject area you have mentioned is huge, particularly in relation to mediaeval French silver coinage. I would be very surprised if you weren&#039;t able to find a nice piece for the figure you are bandying about. I&#039;m almost (but not quite) tempted to sell you one of mine <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>If you have a flavour for the history, may I suggest to you that you try to pick a character or a more definitive time frame relative to your interest so that you can maybe narrow down your choices.</p><p><br /></p><p>For example, one of my first self imposed `challenges&#039; was to get hold of a french coin from the period of Jean D&#039;Arc. She doesn&#039;t appear on any coins of the times, but a coin of the king she basically secured the throne for (Charles de Ponthieu aka Charles VII) does very nicely in that respect. They aren&#039;t numerous, but they aren&#039;t all that difficult either. Who knows....she might even have used the coin I managed to acquire. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; I&#039;ve also since managed to get some coins from Burgundy (her main tormentors other than the English) for the same time frame.</p><p><br /></p><p>Once you have a better idea of what actually best fits the bill for you, finding a coin of the period should be (relatively) easy.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
