[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 4734130, member: 10461"]No, this 17th century French jeton of "Sun King" [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_XIV']Louis XIV[/URL] (1643-1715) is neither ancient, nor even a coin, technically. It's just that I figured I'd get the best assistance with that Latin phrase here. Best I can figure out, NEC OBSCVRANT NEC MORANTVR is something like [I]"Neither darkened nor hindered"[/I]? (... or [I]"delayed" [/I]rather than [I]"hindered"[/I]?) Too bad about the scratch across the sun's face, but I can't complain, since this cost me mere pennies as a World coin bulk bag find.
