erafjel Pillar of the Community Sweden 2124 Posts	Posted 09/17/2023 06:17 am And another French feudal from me: Principality of Dombes 1642, double tournois, Gaston d'Orleans. Gaston was brother to French king Louis XIII. His use of three fleurs-de-lys (with a cadet branch label on top) was thus legitimate, in contrast to some other feudal copy cats (like Frederic-Henri of Orange, whose coat of arms had no likeness to the three fleur-de-lys-like thingies on his coins).

erafjel Pillar of the Community Sweden 2124 Posts	Posted 09/17/2023 5:22 pm Last coin from me for a while. France 1642, ecu d'or, Louis XIII, Paris (A). The old gold ecus continued to be minted until 1654, from 1640 in parallel with the new louis d'ors. Most (until 1640 all) ecu d'ors were hammered, but this one is minted in Paris, where the new mechanized technique was used also for the old type of coins. Report this Post to the Staff
