<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Aestimare, post: 3289852, member: 98537&quot;]Thank you Al Kowsky for your kind answer,</p><p>I&#039;ve tried to look for further informations, but I&#039;ve been unsuccessful.</p><p>Though, I have found two possible similar examples in: </p><p><a href="https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k34177d/f137.item" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k34177d/f137.item" rel="nofollow">https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k34177d/f137.item</a></p><p>BULLETIN DE LA SOCIETE DE BORDA (1876-today) the 11th year 1886, p.51, example n°2 and 3.</p><p>These coins come from a hoard found the 18th of november 1885 in Pontenx (on the French west coast, between the two mints of Bordeaux and Bayonne). 4116 silver coins and 45 gold coins. Restored to the municipality and sold, a new school has been bought.</p><p>The two small X after REX are probably a slip : they usually mark the separation between two words, so they have no sensed place at the end of the titulature, just before the cross. Another slip is probably the point after IMPERAT that may have been printed as if it was the end of a sentence.</p><p>Commonly, carvers of a same family, or who wanted to honor a predecessor could use the same distinctive symbol, and we can see perpetuated marks in numerous mints.</p><p>I have found another gold coin with FRANCOR·VM, but from Franciscus I (1515-1547), so we can notice a much too long term from 1385 to expect a continuum of habits.</p><p><a href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=815461" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=815461" rel="nofollow">https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=815461</a></p><p>A general reference on the period is :</p><p>DUPLESSY Jean, Monnaies françaises royales, I, Hugues Capet à Louis XII, Paris 1999. Circa 43 euros + shipping.</p><p>But most of studies are disparate.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
