FRANCE Royal Issues Jean II, 'Le Bon' 1350-1364
AV Mouton d'Or 4.60g. 30mm. Struck 1355
Nimbate 'Agnus Dei' ( Lamb of God ) standing left before cross with pendant; IOH-REX in exergue
+AGN. DEI. QVI. TOLL. PECA. MUDI. MISERERE. NOB
Compound cross fleuronee, quartered with fleurs-de-lys, all within polylobe
XPE: VINCIT: XPE: REGNAT: XPE: IMPERAT
Duplessy 291: Ciani 354: Friedberg 280
EF. Superlative strike; sharp and complete, and SCARCE as such.
Reverse double-struck, tiny scratch on right of lamb, a couple of tiny dents in rim - suggestive of former fit in a 4-pronged bezel.
The double strike is probably why the obverse was struck up so perfectly, as the flan remained in the obverse die for two strikes. Distinguisable from the cheaper Jean & Wenceslaus Brabant issue by the use of 'REX' instead of 'DVX' on obverse.
Asking Euro 1,499 ( US$ 2,249 ) inclusive of Registered post worldwide.
