<p>[QUOTE="seth77, post: 3218781, member: 56653"]All of the issues minted during the regencies between 1149 and 1163 and possibly after as we don't really know when the denier moved from bare head to helmeted knight were variations to a degree of Raymond's deniers. Some are similar in style others are more schematic and degeneree. This is possibly due to the consecutive issues being further and further away from the original prototype or simply because of different celators with different skills. There are even theories that imply a second mint in the Principality. All of this needs proving though.</p><p><br /></p><p>Notice also that besides the obvious differences, the lettering is completely different too.
