    Superb coins! About 2 years ago I also have had a "franc a'cheval" original from king Iohannes the Kind. For me it was a remarkable coin - Iohann is an equalence to Ivan :) I have to gift this coin to my best friend birthday.

    Thanks!
    Alegandron/ personally I like the AV Flanders coin better, but it is so hard to decide, esp. when you collect all periods in history. I am now really liking my newest endeavor AR Roman coinage(Republican/Imperial/Provincials)
    Sallent/ Beautifull place, I have a lot of butterflies from Cuba!
    IVAN/ i also have this AV Cheval d"or from Jean Le Bon, I love medieval coins!!!!

    John: Maybe if I help you cut grass, you could pay me with that Carthage AV Stater... (I don't collect ancient AV, but I do have and collect a lot of modern AV)...

    Here's another Roman republican "horse" hiding in my coin album standing on a section of architecture called an aqueduct, commemorating the building of the Aqua Marcia, began by the praetor Q. Marcius Rex in 144 BC and finished in 140 BC. The head on the obverse is the fourth king of Rome, Ancus Marcus. Crawford 425/1. L.Marcus Philipus, AR Denarius, 56 BC, Rome. 3.7gm. 20160821_115242.jpg 20160821_115222.jpg

    Since this thread has stretched the definition of 'ancient' already, I'll add a couple modern horses of Peter I of Russia (AR kopeck) and Charles I of England (AR half crown).
