turtlefoot Valued Member United States 182 Posts	Posted 08/08/2016 9:51 pm Just showing off French States-Bishopric City Of Strasbourg 15th-16th Century Kreuzer. I love how the different sides have different designs around and quality of the fleur-de-lis. I will eventually get it identified as to the exact one that it is. Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 08/09/2016 08:06 am Nice piece to start out with. Some of the smaller French hammered gold is amongst the most affordable of hammered gold coins generally. Coinage In France From the Dark Ages to Napoleon, by Nicholas Mayhew, is a good introductory book on French medieval coinage. Coins of Medieval Europe, is a well researched book, by Philip Grierson, is also an excellent more general reference, which is supported by a huge bibliography. Report this Post to the Staff
turtlefoot Valued Member United States 182 Posts	Posted 08/09/2016 8:32 pm This coin is right at 17mm in diameter. I do not have a scale that can weigh it. I will see if I can figure out a weight. Thank you everyone for the kind words. Report this Post to the Staff

turtlefoot Valued Member United States 182 Posts	Posted 08/09/2016 10:08 pm spence- I will now take the help. I cannot find any examples online with the four dots on one side and none on the other. If you can identify/attribute this one, I would appreciate it. Report this Post to the Staff
