Nice contributions, Spence and tdziemia! Quote:

This 12th Century French Denier comes from Aquitane. Any thoughts on how to classify a cross made from four tiny crosses? Metacruciform maybe? "Four crosslets forming a cross", is what I called it on page 7 (which is basically what Duplessy calls it in his book). Metacruciform is not a bad suggestion, I like it! (I get exactly one hit on Google for the word, from a thesis on organic chemistry - there should soon be two, once the indexing worm finds it way to this thread. ) I'm soon running out of deniers, but I still have a couple to show. The coins of Carolingian king Louis IV (ruled 936-954) were immobilized by a number of French feudalities. This one from a century after his rule was minted by count Fulk or his successor William. Denier, County of Angoulême, 1050-1099, Fulk/William V. Silver, 1.25 g, 20 mm.  Obverse: LODOICVS (Louis). Reverse: EGOLISSIME (Angoulême). |

Great one @era and way to go posting a Denier with four annulets forming a cross. Hopefully @tdz can weigh in with their classification system for this construction! Here is another 12th Century Hungarian Denar.   For folks wanting to see what must surely be among the most extensive collections of Hungarian Denars in private hands, I strongly recommend these threads: http://goccf.com/t/323749http://goccf.com/t/358663"If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Here is a Genoan Denaro from the 12th-13th Century:   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Any thoughts on how to classify a cross made from four tiny crosses? Metacruciform maybe? I would describe it as four crosslets organized in the form of a cross with an annulet at the center. Like those 18th century Low Countries liards posted in erafjel's last thread that have four shields organized in the form of a cross. On the Geonoa denaro, I recently tried to import the MEC classification system into Numista, and yours might best resemble this one: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces63890.htmlThe description of the reverse in MEC goes like this: "X with long serifs, the upright abbreviation for -VS in Conradus resembling an eagle's head." |

I know these are rather common, but I still find them interesting ... I bought this on ebay, & want to give the seller "Arkady's coins" a boost here ... great guy to deal with, good communicator, fast shipper ... I've made 2 purchases, both very satisfactory all around ... check him out ... anyway, here's a Maximilian I ... 20 bucks shipped ... bad pic, but the coin is AU++ ... (IMHO)  Edited by mrwiskers

here's a Maximilian I Very nice, mrwiskers! Today I am showing the last of my deniers. Spence has shown one like it here before, but I think it is pretty enough to be granted another show. Denier, Duchy of Normandie, 943-996, Richard I, Rouen. Silver, 1.09 g, 21 mm.  Obverse: RICARDVSI. Reverse: ROTOMAGVS (Rouen). Ok, so now I will sit back and see what else shows up here!  Thank you all for contributing and making this into a such an interesting thread with lots of beautiful and fascinating coins! |
