Badly outbid on 4 other lots, but managed to nicely overpay for this one.



I just fell in love with this obverse image of a knight, really striking for an early Frech piece.

    That's a great pickup, I completely messed up with the timing of the CNG auction.

    Not only a terrific medieval design, but nice toning, too.

    Very nice. French provincials is a field that interests me greatly, but I find hard to delve into due to the lack of English language sources, and my inability to read French.

    Wow! How cool. I agree, I would be more interested in these coins in general if I could read French and therefore the available guidebooks.



    But you make me want to try after seeing this coin. Fantastic.
