panzerman Posted October 16, 2022 · Member Share Posted October 16, 2022 Just won this extremely rare coin from Bishopric in Provence. This coin was struck under Jean I Coci 1349-64. First time I have seen any coin from that bishopric. This coin appeared in MDC/Monaco recent event. 9 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeandAcre Posted October 16, 2022 · Member Share Posted October 16, 2022 Mag-Smegging-Nificent, @panzerman. The convergence of rarity and condition is stunning. ...Yeah, and, well, Bling. ...Now I'm wondering just how many different imitations of Florentine florins there were. They seem to have bred like rabbits. Easy to see why, since elsewhere, gold coins were just starting to get some acceleration in the 14th century. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That "Florentine Lily" design was used everywhere in Europe/ except England. I think I have around 25 of these. The Spanish feudal ones are tough to get in high quality strikes/ grades. Here is one from Bar. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
