[QUOTE="seth77, post: 3236464, member: 56653"]I'm adding to this post a new an interesting denier of Sancerre, minted for Etienne I the first count of the independent County of Sancerre, but probably at the end of his reign around 1190, while he was crusading at Acre. It is not a unique or inedit piece, both Poey d'Avant and Boudeau note this variation (#2007, #303), but it is rather scarce, even though not as scarce as the 1170 variation shown above. It is probably an experimental issue, at least considering the left bust and the head gear. The bust left with mithra (Guillaume and Louis up to cca. 1230) and jeweled crown (Jean and Etienne II cca. 1280-1300) will become the norm after the death of Etienne I. [ATTACH=full]846258[/ATTACH] Etienne I, bust left with jeweled crown, 1190(?) [ATTACH=full]846259[/ATTACH] Guillaume I and Louis I, bust left with mithra, 1191-1230 cca. [ATTACH=full]846260[/ATTACH] Jean I and Etienne II, bust left with jeweled crown, 1280-1300 cca.[/QUOTE]
