<p>[QUOTE=&quot;seth77, post: 4040733, member: 56653&quot;]Not frowning one bit, the coin is extremely nice. What I would add is that the type was minted under the Viscounts of Bourges and continued as <i>type immobilise</i> up until around 1050, as it was a popular and successful coinage. As such, I am not sure whether this particular spec was a lifetime issue for Lothaire or an immobilization. And if an immobilization, by the looks -- style, lettering, cross design, weight, etc it&#039;s likely one of the earlier ones, to around 1000. This is where the problem with the deffinitive attribution of the type comes from. On one side you have Poey d&#039;Avant cataloging it as a local <i>type immobilise</i> (#1915) and Boudeau #267, on the other Gariel, Prou and Nouchy add the type to the Carolingian (Royal) coinages.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
