Archeo1982 Pillar of the Community Netherlands 521 Posts	Posted 10/18/2017 1:03 pm Floris V (24 June 1254 - 27 June 1296) reigned as Count of Holland and Zeeland from 1256 until 1296. His life was documented in detail in the Rijmkroniek by Melis Stoke, his chronicler. He is credited with a mostly peaceful reign, modernizing administration, policies beneficial to trade, generally acting in the interests of his peasants at the expense of nobility, and reclaiming land from the sea. His dramatic murder, engineered by King Edward I of England and Guy, Count of Flanders, made him a hero in Holland. Obv: Floris facing right Rev: Cross Mass: 0,5 gr. Diameter: 13mm Edited by Archeo1982 10/18/2017 1:06 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34424 Posts	Posted 10/18/2017 7:35 pm @Archeo1982, I wonder if there is an inscription around the rim on either side of this coin? I'd look it up myself, but I'm not even sure what reference to use for these old Netherlands coins.
