sjh241 Valued Member United States 386 Posts	Posted 09/21/2014 11:19 pm I'm getting close but can't seem to match this to anything: Weight: 4.4g width: ~26mm Obverse lettering: LVDOVICVS.MAGNVS. REX.CHRIST/STIANNIS (the T/S is a T over S), a few double lettering in CHRISTSTIANNIS Letter R (mintmark?) below bust. Reverse lettering: OB CARLOREGIVM BIS OBSIDIONE LIBERATVM Edge: Plain I can take a better pic of the obverse if needed. Thanks. Edited by sjh241 09/21/2014 11:21 pm Report this Post to the Staff
