I don't collect gold, but I do like those intricate designs....

I would have hated to be a die maker with the tools they had back then and been asked to create that.

How was it GD, Shamelessly pinching English gold coin designs... almost identical to the nobles produced in England during the 14th and 15th centuries (i may be buying one very soon), or should i buy the angel instead? hmm...

Awesome!!!!! I love gold!!

Sylvestius · September 17, 2004 5:56AM

Okay i'll take the noble.

Here's the English version that GD's piece is imitating (this particular piece is imitating the then contemporary Flemish gold coinage). And i'm buying it!

(Henry VI Noble Annulet issue issued 1422-27)

Did i mention i love hammered gold? No...

Well i do!
