[QUOTE="bernard55, post: 8115928, member: 114733"]so I think everyone is saying that this is a 'cavallo' of Charles the VIII of France and is from some time between 1495 and 1498 (his rule). and is a variant of [URL='https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces87273.html']this[/URL]. The lettering on the side with the cross is "XPS RE XPS IM XPS VI" and means "Christus Vincit, Christus Regnat, Christus Imperat!" or "Christ conquers, Christ reigns, Christ commands!" The lettering on the side with the lily(s) references the following: KR for Karolus (Charles VIII=Carlo VIII) DGR (Dei Gratia) R (Rex) FR (France) SI (Sicily = Kingdom of Sicily and Naples perhaps) IE (Imperatore = Emperor) does everyone agree with all of the above?[/QUOTE]
