[QUOTE="AnYangMan, post: 5233441, member: 87271"]Wow! That is an absolutely stunning win, congratulations! Looks like you had to fight hard for it, but worth every penny. I can’t remember ever having seen one for sale before. A true stunner in its historic context and surely even more fascinating because of the early date! The collection of coins from Liège they had this auction was simply stunning. The Griffon d’or/Gouden Griffioen and the Double Mouton d’or/Dubbel Gouden Lam especially are some of the most coveted and gorgeous coins that the bishopric has to offer. Jealous of those that won them… I had some minor targets in that auction, but in the end didn’t even bid. I have no dated piece from Liège, but do have a gorgeous esterlin from Bishop Jean de Flandre: [IMG]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48826770652_615e69ad27_k.jpg[/IMG] [I]Prince-Bishopric of Liège, Jean de Flandre.
