Most times I find myself feeling woefully inadequate in telling much about my coins since whenever I acquire a new one I come to realize I really don&#039;t know much. I read and read, but always seemingly I&#039;m down a rabbit hole.</font></p><p><font face="Times New Roman"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Times New Roman">Case in point is this new purchase arrived today which was, no doubt, spurred on by those posters here showing their awesome medieval coins.&nbsp; I&#039;ve been checking the medieval listings in all the regular places for a coin which I thought might strike my fancy and figured I&#039;d land on an English Richard, Henry, Edward, or some other such more recognizable name, but alas it was this one which struck me.</font></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://www.bibliopath.com/coins/medieval/FRANCE__Thiebaud-II.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><font face="Times New Roman"><font size="3">FRANCE, Provincial.
