<p>[QUOTE=&quot;FitzNigel, post: 4473559, member: 74712&quot;]Very nice!&nbsp; I’ve been keeping an eye out for one with the stars on it (although I don’t have the budget for one...).&nbsp; I have snagged a couple from Normandy which <i>might </i>have been issued under William (although we don’t know for certain).&nbsp; Here is my most recent example:</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1112741[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Feudal France - Normandy</p><p>William II-William Clito/Henry I, r. 1035-1135 (1075-1130)</p><p>AR Denier, 19.02 mm x 1.0 grams</p><p>Obv.: +NORMANNIA. Patriarchal Cross with two pellets below.&nbsp; Legend begins at 3h</p><p>Rev.: Church pediment, containing pellet, surmounted by cross, the letters P A X within semicircles on each side</p><p>Ref.: Dumas XX-23 variety</p><p>Ex. Richard A. Jourdan Collection</p><p>Note: Dumas group C et D according to Moesgaard</p><p><br /></p><p>the theory has been that since this issue also says “PAX” on the reverse like William’s English issue, then it may have been issued by him as well.&nbsp; Unfortunately there has not been very conclusive archaeological finds to pinpoint a particular reign, and the coins of Normandy are not spoken of much in primary sources.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
