<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TheRed, post: 4535348, member: 87080&quot;]One of my collecting areas is Anglo-Gallic coins, especially those of the early Plantagenet kings.&nbsp; By far the most prolific ruler of the dynasty, in terms of coins minted, is Richard I.&nbsp; While there were only three types of deniers minted in his name, they were produced in huge quantities in Aquitaine and Poitou.&nbsp; There is some speculation that coins in Richard&#039;s name were struck as a type immobilises by John and Henry III.&nbsp; And with that huge quantity comes dozens of varieties. The latest addition to my Anglo Gallic collection is a&nbsp; very common variety of denier for Richard, minted in Aquitaine.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1122954[/ATTACH] </p><p>Richard I AR Denier as Duke of Aquitaine 1172-1189 AD Bordeaux mint.</p><p>18.0mm 0.86g</p><p>Obv: +/RICA/RDVS/ω in four lines.</p><p>Rev: +AQVITANIE, cross pattee within inner border.</p><p>AGC 5 1/a</p><p><br /></p><p>While it is the most common varietiey of denier of Richard from Aquitaine, I love the tone of the coin and am always happy to add an attractive one of Richard to my collection.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Feel free to add any coin or coins that, despite being common, you are happy to have added to your collection.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
