[QUOTE="seth77, post: 3209803, member: 56653"]The coin is well worn and the photos are not very clear, but that is mostly due to the condition of the coin I suppose. As I noted yesterday, with a diameter of 22x21mm, and a weight of 1.15g, it is one of the "large deniers" of the late 10th century. OBV: + PSDIVNS CATO (or similar) REV: + SENONS CIVI Here is the monogram, as I understand it, a degenere by all means, but a different-looking degeneree: [ATTACH=full]833134[/ATTACH] than Boudeau lists and draws for #1751, here, note the differences (besides my lack of talent at drawing): [ATTACH=full]833135[/ATTACH] At #1753, Boudeau lists a similar example, but with a reversed monogram than the one of #1751. I think it is a different variation of an earlier monogram (maybe even of Raoul as Boudeau notes, or a Raoul monogram redrawn to become a monogram of Eudes himself) and not just a monogramme reverse. Boudeau #1751 dates from around 977 as a terminus post quem. The spec I posted yesterday is later, but prior to the change that happened at the beginning of the 11th century, when the champ/peigne arrived. So its possible date is most likely at the end of the reign of Eudes I, considering the overall design, the monogram and the weight, plus the hoard information provided by the hoards of Puy (Lafaurie, [I]Le trésor monétaire du Puy (Haute-Loire). Contribution à l’étude de la monnaie de la fin du Xe siècle[/I]) and Fecamp (F. Dumas-Dubourg, [I]Le Trésor de Fécamp et le monnayage en Francie occidentale pendant la seconde moitié du Xe siècle). [/I] The authors give it a terminus ante quem of 996 to 999.[/QUOTE]
