Now that's a terrific medieval coin!!!

 

HEY....i was going to buy that, you beat me to it.




don't you feel horrible?

but yeah, that's a very nice one compared to most. i have several overstamped coins of the era, but not a nice clean one.

 

That castle is great.

 

Cool addition! I have one of these on my watch list, just havent pulled the trigger yet.
