Mostly the style and the overall design -- the annulet missing from between the four crosslets, the shape of the lettering and the standard specs. As a matter of fact, Poey d&#039;Avant puts it #2735 rather than 2733 (CLVILILMO / BVRDEGIILA), even earlier to Bernard Guillaume (or an immobilise type that started around that period, being of an unlikely low weight for the early 11th century).</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Its features put it more likely in the second part of the 11th century (Poey d&#039;Avant has an error at p. 75 referring to the end of the 12th century, but by that time Aquitaine was minting for Richard I and Alienor) rather than around 1000, and before the standardization of shape, style and lettering of the early 12th century for Guillaume X.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
