Walking Back In Time From 1600 To Antiquity By Decades (V2.0)

Nice! I am guessing the image is that of St. Paul who shows up on later coinage of Munster. In medieval Christian iconograph, Paul is often shown holding a sword in one hand and a book in the other, a reminder of his first and second vocations (he was a soldier before his conversion). He (and Peter)are also usually shown bald and with long beards, as they were know to have lived into old age.
I'm not so familiar with all the places where Paul shows up on coins, but that's one of the nicest representations I've seen that early.

I am posting this one and asking for feedback on the date range. Same type as posted for the 1380s by petrus, double gros of Louis de Male, Gaill. 223. Same legends though the punctuation on reverse is different (mine has something like a leaf or tree between words on the inner legend, rather than the clover of petrus' example unless this is just wear, and tripe dots punctuating the outer legend). I have a date range of 1365-67 and Ghent mint, but don't know the source for that.

Thanks very much, albert.

From the reference you posted, it looks like mine is indeed Gaillard 223 (words in exterior legends separated by three dots, and the interior legend by branches) and yours is 224? (interior legend has trefoils)

If mine is from Ghent, then the correct date is 1373-77 (p.166).

Many thanks (even if it means my post is wrong by one day).

We may have had one AH date way upthread?

Anyhow, I am back to Brabant (no surprise ) with this mouton d'or from the reign of Joanna and Wenceslas with a date range 1357-1366 Witte 387 (according to Ghyssens, they were minted in Vilvoorde in 1357, 1363 and 1366).

While medieval European coins often have a mix of symbols of civic and religious authority on them, this one strikes me in terms of its religious content. Those familiar with the Christian mass/service will recognize the obverse legend as part of that rite: "Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world, have mercy on us." The reverse translates as "Christ conquered, Christ reigns, Christ commands." I wonder if this was a response to the horrors of the Black Death which arrived in the Low countries in 1349, killed about half the population between 1349 and 1351,and led to lasting economic and social upheaval for decades?

Yes, I learned mine was definitely from the 1370s.

As for 10 years vs. 10.2 years

I will start off the 1340s with this plaque from Lorraine, attributed as Boudeau 1467. While I see this coin listed elsewhere with a date range 1346-52, de Saulcy gives 1346-1348. It is issued during the regency of Marie of Blois for her young son, the future Duke Jean I of Lorraine.

The history of the 100 Years War links this coin
to the double groat of Loedewijk of Flanders which we saw from the 1370s/1380s. The first major victory for the English was the Battle of Crecy, August 26, 1346. Fighting on the French side, Loedewijk's father (Count Louis I of Flanders) was killed in battle, as was Marie's husband, Duke Raoul of Lorraine, and her brother Count Louis II of Blois.

Really attractive coin in lovely condition! Saint Prosdocimo was the first bishop of Padova, died around 100 A.D., and hence was a sort of "first generation" after the original apostles. One of the patron saints of Padova. Curious if this denomination is larger than a grosso?
