<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Aestimare, post: 3288611, member: 98537&quot;]Hello Al Kowsky and happy new year to everyone,</p><p><br /></p><p>these Karolus the 6th &#039; écus d&#039;or don&#039;t characterize my specification domain, but I know according to Duplessy that the first issue with distinguished mints (in fact, the third issue) is dated 1389-09-11.</p><p><br /></p><p>The first issue of the Karolus the 6th &#039; écus d&#039;or are dated 1385-03-11, present no secret point (under a letter or beginning cross of the legend). That&#039;s the case here.</p><p><br /></p><p>The second one (1388-02-28) is just distinguished by the weight, but the difference is so tiny, nor considering the fabrication&#039;s tolerance, that it&#039;s impossible to differentiate them : 4,079g for the first issue / 3,990g for the second.</p><p><br /></p><p>The experts of the period who have noticed constant characteristics of specific mints, try to attribute mints to the undated coins of the period 1385-1389.</p><p><br /></p><p>You can see a clear point after the second R of FRANCORVM. I&#039;ve never read anything about this particularity. I hope someone actually or further will be more precise.</p><p><br /></p><p>Best wishes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
