[QUOTE="Nap, post: 3975413, member: 73099"]Nice coins! The deniers of Richard the Fearless are an interesting set. Most of the known examples, particularly the high grade ones, are from the Fecamp hoard. Found in 1963, it included more than 5000 coins of Richard, duke of Normandy, some with that monogram that I have heard previously attributed to Bishop Hughes of Rouen. Most likely one or both of your coins are from that hoard. Most have lost their provenance. Other 10th century Norman coins are quite rare but this issue is common due to the hoard. Richard was reported to have been born and died in Fecamp, and presumably the town was important to him. I hope to visit there later this year when I go to Normandy![/QUOTE]
