<p>[QUOTE=&quot;FitzNigel, post: 2440025, member: 74712&quot;]I never really read the &#039;favorite coin, favorite tune&#039; thread, so I&#039;m a little unclear as to whether our coin and book here should relate, or if it&#039;s just a random association.&nbsp; Relating coins to what I read (fiction wise) is difficult for me, because I love historical fiction, but have to stay away from the Middle Ages, because I become too critical of the text (someone brought up brother caedfel- I think I got through two of those and had to quit...).&nbsp; So, I tend to read Renaissance and Early Modern - particularly the works of Rafael Sabatini.&nbsp; So here&#039;s a good work of his and a coin from the same time period (although different part of Europe...)</p><p>[ATTACH=full]508295[/ATTACH] </p><p>Rafael Sabatini, Chivalry (takes place in Italy)</p><p>[ATTACH=full]508298[/ATTACH] </p><p>England</p><p>Henry VII, r. 1485-1509 (1494-1501)</p><p>Durham Mint, mm 76b, AR Penny, 14.88mm x 0.6 grams</p><p>Obv.: Henry enthroned facing, holding scepter and globus cruciger, throne pillar on either side surmounted by saltire cross</p><p>Rev.: Coat-of-arms over long cross pattée, mitre above</p><p>Ref.: SCBS 2234</p><p>Ex.
