[QUOTE="sylvester, post: 5081, member: 708"]The French stuff i've seen strikes me as interesting, but i do mean the early deniers of the 10th and 11th centuries. The English stuff, well... i really like the hammered gold nobles and i think the gold florins were to die for, but the silver stuff after Edward I is a bit naff. I was thinking more along the lines of AEthelred II to Stephen myself, now i've gotta admit i find that period's coin fascinating, a little crude towards the end but the history behind them especially the Stephen stuff is quite fascinating, what with a civil war and what not. Talking of Stephen here's a penny minted sometime between 1136 and 1145...
