Three last one, from Britany, before it was united with France :
Jean IV, Blanc aux 9 mouchetures, Nantes
François 1er, Blanc à la targe, Nantes
François II, Gros à l'écu, Rennes
Thanks for the topic, anyway . those were hard times indeed . in our collective memory forever, I think about it every year, as well as about Charlie on January the 7th, 2015. |

Just noticed the topic, I had to send a couple of coins from my country, which I don't think were posted :)

Hi,
The 1/4 real just had a castle on one side and a lion on the other side.
The cross design was used on 1/2 reales - with a monogram on the other side.
This looks like a trimmed / worn-out 1/2 real to me. |

Pistareen : fixed my title.
As to what tipped me - I'm too used to see those low quality copies, they sell for a buck or two in China .
Flat / dull field, almost no denticles, details missing sharpness, etc . |

nicolashsing : depends, I start by trying to open them from the side cleanly with a big knife, to keep the box "in case" (I know it's useless for authentication once opened, but if a new buyer wants a grading number instead of falling in love with look of the coin itself . at least I have it somewhere).
If it don't work, a hammer on the side can indeed do it - or a vise if you have that on hand :)
And in any case . the idea is not to damage the coin ;) |
