<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TheRed, post: 2953825, member: 87080&quot;]As most people are aware, Stevex6 is selling his collection.&nbsp; He collected some great coins, including many medieval ones.&nbsp; Despite depleting my 2017 coin budget, the coins were just to nice to pass up, so I decided to count the coins against my 2018 budget and buy two.&nbsp; It was hard to narrow it down, but eventually I made my selection, one of which was inspired by [USER=84744]@Severus Alexander[/USER] and a beautiful coin of his.&nbsp; Steve had so many wonderful coins I may even go back and purchase a couple more I had my eye on.&nbsp; The photos are the seller&#039;s and leave a lot to be desired.&nbsp; I&#039;ll have to try and improve upon them when time permits.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]721995[/ATTACH]</p><p>Antoine the Good, Duke of Lorraine, AR Demi-plaque; 1508-1544 AD Nancy mint</p><p>22 mm 1.59 grams</p><p>Obv: Crowned ducal coat of arms; + ΛnThOn : ∂ : G : CΛLΛBЧ : LOThOЧ : ЄT : BΛЧ : ∂ (double saltire stops).</p><p>Rev: Armored arm, wielding sword, emerging from clouds; + mOnЄTΛ : nOVΛ : FΛCTΛ : nΛnCЄIO : (double saltire stops), </p><p>Reference: De Saulcy pl.
