The coin is special for several reasons. For one the coin was the first French franc ever minted known as the franc a cheval, for another the coin was specifically designed and minted to be used to pay the ransom for the French King Jean le Bon who was captured in battle by the Black Prince of the English army in the 100 Years War. And the coin is also the finest example known.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]244970.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]244971.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Now this second coin is special because I cherry-picked it out of a world wide auction offering. At the time there were only 2 or 3 examples of this coin known to exist, and nobody else even noticed this coin because it was listed as a common example. I say at the time because in the years following my buying of the coin, between me and another forum friend, we have able to identify a total of 7 individual examples of this coin. And that re-writes the books.
