Spence Moderator United States 34430 Posts	Posted 04/02/2016 5:23 pm To get started, it is a denier from 1200s or 1300s France. I'm trying to read the letters to narrow it down from there.

Spence Moderator United States 34430 Posts	Posted 04/02/2016 5:33 pm I think that I have convinced myself that the rev inscription is "TVRONVS CIVIS" (your first pic) and the obv inscription is "LVDOVICVS REX". If that is true, then you have a denier turnois from Louis IX (1245-1270 AD). The attribution is Duplessy 193. Someone else should confirm my interpretation of the inscriptions though--those letters are pretty indistinct. For example, I'm basing the obv inscription almost entirely by that letter "O" at 4 o'clock.

Spence Moderator United States 34430 Posts	Posted 04/04/2016 8:17 pm No prob, but I gotta say that this is about the lowest condition that still permits attribution-good thing it wasn't really worn.
