John Conduitt Posted November 19, 2022 · Supporter Share Posted November 19, 2022 (edited) LT would be Henri de la Tour, 1892, Atlas de Monnaies Gauloises. BN is Bibliothèque nationale de France, Muret, "Catalogue des Monnaies Gaules de la Bibliothèque Nationale". 'cf' means this coin looks like one of the above e.g. LT 3316, but you can't tell precisely, because it isn't complete. Although I think the obverse and reverse are the other way around in your photo. Edited November 19, 2022 by John Conduitt 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antwerpen2306 Posted November 20, 2022 · Member Author Share Posted November 20, 2022 So, I had a little time to spend on this coin. Very interesting. I spend most of time on the references of @John Conduitt, both references free on internet. But also thanks to @Hrefn and @Dwarf: everything is helping. I noted all this references on my numismatic card for this coin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hrefn Posted November 20, 2022 · Supporter Share Posted November 20, 2022 I think it is fascinating that the flans for this coin appear to have been cut by chisel. A type of hacksilber ab origine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antwerpen2306 Posted November 20, 2022 · Member Author Share Posted November 20, 2022 yes, you are right. Often seeing such a piece, I am asking myself : what was it before ? where comes it from ? I've bought in the years 80 an old farm in the Belgian Ardennes, dated 1732. Transformating the house, I've found in one of the walls a piece of wood, dated 1694, with no sence to be there, but just in the good place for me now in the actual dining room. I love history, I studied history, but every year I am getting older, I have more problems to understand, because when I think to understand, a million questions are raising. I think it is the age ... but I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
