<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cucumbor, post: 1972774, member: 4298&quot;]I have probably shown those before in other threads, but putting them together in a dedicated topic is a nice idea, Siberian man.</p><p><br /></p><p>One of my collecting &quot;sub sections&quot; is a tray of 40 french coins, no less no more, supposed to browse the coinage of France from the begining of royals to nowadays,&nbsp; the last of those forty coins being a 2 euro coin. Another rule I have put to myself is to have coins of similar size for a question of harmony in the look of the whole, but not of similar metal. Hence, you can find a gold <i>écu</i>, a <i>gros tournois</i>, a <i>demi franc</i> from before the revolution, a <i>teston</i>, and after the revolution some gold <i>40 francs</i>, silver<i> 2 francs</i> or bronze <i>10 centimes.</i> The bilding of that series isn&#039;t completed yet, and rather than leaving holes, I put some coins that don&#039;t exactly fill the criteria for being there, but then, the tray is still of 40 coins. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So here are some of them, the most beautiful and worthy of showing off IMHO :</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/11724/0010-Plilppe_IV_gros.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><b> Philippe IV &quot;Le Bel&quot; (1285-1314) - Gros tournois Ã&nbsp; l&#039;O rond </b></p><p><b>&nbsp;</b> Atelier de Lille ?
