[QUOTE="Hrefn, post: 8172713, member: 115171"]Have not found a good comprehensive site explaining the pointe system, but what I was able to discover suggests the Louis XII ecu d’or above was struck in Lyon, as the annulet is at the twelfth letter. Louis the XII was censured by Machiavelli in The Prince for making critical mistakes in his invasion of Italy. “Louis made these five errors: he destroyed the minor powers, he increased the strength of one of the greater powers in Italy, he brought in a foreign power, he did not settle in the country, he did not send colonies.” CoinTalk members who aspire to become conquerors and despots are advised to take heed.[/QUOTE]
