I have had this long enough and have no need to Hoard it, so I am offering it up to my forum members for their collection. I am asking $2900 delivered. I have yet to see another "IOH_REX" version, images dance in my head over what Royalty or Clergy Wore this piece with Honor. Ex Civitas. All proceed to go toward my new motorcycle purchase
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. Distinguishable from the cheaper Jean & Wenceslaus Brabant issue by the use of 'REX' instead of 'DVX' on obverse.
