What attracted me to this coin was the Dolphin with large pointy teeth. The diameter is 20.24 mm, the weight is 1.20 gr. Please post your French or other mediaeval coins.

Sometimes I forget that to people who lived in medieval and ancient times, the world was a vast, unknown, and scary place where fantastical monsters were waiting to snatch up the unwary traveller. Very nice coin! Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34511 Posts	Posted 12/07/2016 8:06 pm @orfew, great coin! I love that image of the heraldic dolphin. Attribution looks like Roberts 6577 to me. Unfortunately, I haven't managed to pick up a coin of medieval Grenoble or Vienne yet. so I can't post one of mine...yet.

I am not an expert in these coins so I did not know where to look for the attribution. The reason I bought this coin is for the connection to Joan of Arc. This is the closest I could get to a mediaeval coin of her. I did buy the modern 10 Euro proof of Joan of Arc released in November, but I wanted something much older and closer to her time.
