That is a stunning addition to this thread @era. A bit more modest is this 12th Century Denier from the French Abbey of St Martin of Tour. These are quite common and inexplicably I have purchased two of them. I'll post the one that is in slightly better condition.   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Thx for the kind words. It's been quite some time since my focus was on US coins and so that has afforded me the ability to focus my collection elsewhere. I have spent quite a bit of time on medieval Europe and so you are seeing that result on this thread. "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Somehow I see a chicken on both sides - on the reverse it is riding a horse - can't unsee it now I agree the bust has quite "bird-like" features (not as complimentary as "aquiline"). Maybe he just had a very prominent "beak." ... as did his successor, Ladislaus I, on this denar dated 1081-1102.   |

Initially minted for the 11th century counts, all named Centule, it became immobilized and minted for a couple of centuries. Denier, Bearn, 1080-1240, Morlaas. Billon, 1.10 g, 19 mm.  Obverse: ONOR FORCAS // PAX. Reverse: CENTVLLO COME (Count Centule). Edited by erafjel

More great contributions @era and @kei! Here is a fun Denier from the French Bishopric of LePuy that I have not yet posted on CCF. It dates to somewhere in the 12th or 13th Century and what I like about it is the simplicity of design--two propeller-shaped crosses, one with four arms and one with six. Any peripheral inscriptions have been lost to the ravages of time.   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."
