I had done some research but not 100% it looked like a French coin dated between 1108-1137 Possible Ruler : Louis VI KING of the FRANKS the rev : short cross with "O" I think that is Orleans Mint from France It is hard to be sure. It is silver coin Approx. Diameter: 18MM Weight: 1.0 gram Thanks for any help STEVE Report this Post to the Staff

erafjel Pillar of the Community Sweden 536 Posts	Posted 01/12/2021 5:03 pm A possible match is Évêché de Valence, around 12th century. Here is the Numista page: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces32125.html (Turn the second picture 135 degrees clockwise.) Report this Post to the Staff

tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 4162 Posts	Posted 01/12/2021 9:02 pm Wow, great work, erafjel. And amazing that was in a coin shop bin And who would have thought St Apollinaris was patron of not just Ravenna but also Valence! Edited by tdziemia 01/12/2021 9:04 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Archraz Pillar of the Community United States 3447 Posts	Posted 01/12/2021 10:27 pm ntexasteve - Nice coin and a great find! About how long ago did you find that in a bin? I'm just curious since I've heard some great stories of what used to turn in up in dealers' 25 cent or 50 cent bins ca. 1970-1990. I have been collecting for over 25 years now. And sometimes I marvel at some of the pieces I used to find in dealers' "junk bins" back in the 1990s. Report this Post to the Staff
willieboyd2 Valued Member United States 394 Posts	Posted 01/13/2021 10:04 pm These coins might have been minted for Crusaders. The bishops of Valence had heard about the First Crusade (AD 1096-1099) and that the Crusaders would be crossing their territory. They minted large quantities of deniers for the Crusaders to use further east. Large quantities of them have been found in the Crusader territories of Syria and Palestine Crusaders Bishops of Valence Denier Billon Silver, 17 mm, 1.19 gm Struck at Valence approximately AD 1096 to 1099 Obverse: Angel (The design appears to be a skull and crossbones) VRBS VALENTIAI (City of Valence) Reverse: Cross with circle at lower right S APOLLINARS (Saint Apollinaire of Valence, AD 453-520) https://www.brianrxm.com The Mysterious Egyptian Magic Coin Coins in Movies and on Television The 1949 San Francisco Mexico Peso Restrikes Report this Post to the Staff
