@Keith67: Wow, what detail, wonderful coin! @Spence: Yes, those look a bit fun (I have an obol from that "series", so it does not fit in here). Very nice! Another Carolingian, temple type: Denier, West Francia, 840-864, Charles "The Bald", Paris. Silver, 1.69 g, 21 mm.  Obverse: CARLVS REX FR (Charles King of the Franks). Reverse: PARISII CIVITAS (City of Paris). |

Pretty good detail remaining on your latest coin too @era. Here is a Denaro from the first half of the 12th Century Susa (Italy). It was issued on behalf of Count Amedeo III.   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Another nice coin, Spence! I'm staying in Paris, with this one: Denier parisis, France, 1137-1180, Louis VII, Paris. Silver, 0.91 g, 19.5 mm.  Obverse: LVDOVICVS REX // FRA-NCO (Louis King of the Franks). Reverse: PARISII CIVIS (City of Paris). |

Back to Prague/Bohemia for me. This 12th Century Denar has an old museum/collection identification number penned onto the surface of the coin. It serves as a good reminder that we are only temporary stewards of these coins--I've owned this one for less than 1% of its life.   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

I can counter with this charming portrait, of the same Louis as my previous coin. Denier, France, 1137-1180, Louis VII, Bourges. Silver, 1.08 g, 19 mm.  Obverse: LVDOVICVS REX (King Louis). Reverse: VRBS BITVRICA (City of Bourges). |

Nice one. Would you call that a floriated cross on the reverse or something else?  Here is a early 12th Century Dinero from Aragon Spain (Toledo mint):   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."
