philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 03/11/2013 10:45 pm I see what you mean! Here's all I think I can say: LAVDV may refer to Laudun or Laudunus, meaning the town of Laon in Picardy, France. Regal deniers were issued from there, but look nothing like this. The reverse portrait looks like a Christ or saint figure (was CESUS meant to be GESUS or JESUS?). In 1859, a book was published by an author named de Marsy entitled "Denier d'argent de Saint-Marie de Laon." If the reverse portrait is of St Mary of Laon, this coin might be in that book... Strange looking coin, though; are you sure it's real? Edited by philadelphian 03/11/2013 10:48 pm Report this Post to the Staff
