<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eduard, post: 2697554, member: 8959&quot;]Hello Albert, thank you for showing us your deniers for Richard I minted in his french dominions of Poitou and Aquitaine. Those are very appealing coins.</p><p>I don&#039;t have any of his french-issue coins, but looking at yours, I may seriously consider finding one<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. </p><p><br /></p><p>I showed my english issue for Richard I a few days ago, and I am posting it here again for completion.</p><p><br /></p><p>As you mentioned, Richard I coins minted in England actually bear his father&#039;s name HENRICVS. This can make attribution difficult. Attribution of his coins, however, can be made based on a number of distinguishing characteristics.</p><p>As FitzNigel mentions, the Spink catalog contains some useful pointers for the attribution.</p><p>Otherwise,<font size="4"> this text which I am quoting from an old thread mentions some of the characteristics which can be used to distinguish the coins of Richard I, Coeur de Lion: </font>(see also the thread mentioned by Christian, above).</p><p>&nbsp; </p><p><b>&#039;&#039; </b>There are many identifying marks, portrait styles, and letter forms that can be used to distinguish between Henry II, Richard, John, and Henry III&#039;s short cross coins, all which bear the HENRICVS name. The details are plenty for specific class attribution, but a few general characteristics can be...the number of pearls in the crown, the number and form of the the hair curls to the right and left, and the form of the beard. (But even these general characteristics cannot be solely relied upon in all instances). Some short cross issues can be narrowed or attributed solely based on the moneyer or the form of a single letter or i.m. It&#039;s kind of hard to narrow down a standard attributon of classes on a forum message board, that&#039;s why such references as MASS and North exist.</p><p><br /></p><p>...Richard&#039;s name can also be found on his Issoudun (Berry) issue in addition to the Aquitaine and Poitou issues<b>&#039;&#039;.</b></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>Richard I., 1189-1199 Penny 1196/1199,</b> London, with the name of Henry,</p><p>Short Cross type, Moneyer Raul. 1.46 g.</p><p>North 965 Spink 1347.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]606488[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]606489[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
