<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ian, post: 185144, member: 283&quot;]What a silly billy statement.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s two examples of the smallest denomination from his period in office in Orange. Copper `denier tournois&#039; (as opposed to its bigger brother the `double tournois&#039;). My examples are about as good as they come for this denomination. The first is dated 1652, the second is dated 1654 and the portrait is a bit better, but you might struggle to see the dates......and much else. This must be an entirely new vista for you. Now that you know that they exist, you can start collecting coins of his from his home territory. You may want to keep your eyes open on ebay too. The silver 1/12th ecu from Orange with his portrait on it comes up fairly regularly, and usually in fine&nbsp; to VF condition (and usually within the $60 - $80 range).</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.omnicoin.com/coins/919419.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://www.omnicoin.com/coins/919420.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
