<p>[QUOTE=&quot;FitzNigel, post: 2575668, member: 74712&quot;]I don&#039;t know specifically about Edward I &amp; II coins, but when Edward II took the throne, if no changes were made to the coins (since he shared a name with his father) there is no way to distinguish between Edward I or Edward II on class 10 coins.&nbsp; It&#039;s only until a change was made that we know it is firmly under Edward II.&nbsp; Much like the coins of Raymond of Toulouse - Raymond V-VII all minted coins that looked exactly the same, and since it was a trusted coin, there was no reason to change the design and risk people not using the new coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]558034[/ATTACH] </p><p>French Feudal, Toulouse</p><p>Raymond V-VII, r. 1148-1249</p><p>AR Denier, 19mm x 1.1 grams</p><p>Obv.: RAMON COMES around outside, Cross Pattee in center, S in first quadrant</p><p>Rev.: +TOLOSA CIVI around outside, PAX in center</p><p><br /></p><p>As for whether medievals belong in World or Ancient, that I think is debateable.&nbsp; I tend to post medievals with Ancients because they share similar methods of production (hammering) than modern world coins, plus the lack of countries/states as we know them also,dostinguish medieval coins like Ancients.&nbsp; But I would guess it doesn&#039;t really matter - we medievalists are the bastard children of numismatics.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
