<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cucumbor, post: 2722970, member: 4298&quot;]As we&#039;ve left ancient ancients, I can contribute with my rarest rare coin : a lot of types in the Dombes coinage are rare to exeedingly rare. Lucky me, supply and demand is on my side and I&#039;m able to acquire some of them for decent prices (would you imagine a roman or US modern gold unicum go for less than 1500 $ ?)</p><p><br /></p><p>The gold pistole (double ecu) is quite frequent for 1578 (frequent for Dombes means 30ish known examples), but really rare for 1575 and 1582 with one or two known examples of each. The 1579 example I show is the first known of its type and year of issue (and as such has been published in a french numismatic review).</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_HKG3SbYuU2M/TNl1THz86II/AAAAAAAAAWQ/wIP97i0sflg/s1600/D-021-024-79.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><b>LOUIS II DE MONTPENSIER (1560-1582)</b></p><p>Pistole, or - 1579 (inédite) - Atelier de Trévoux</p><p><b>+ LVDO .
