Jeff 11 Valued Member United Kingdom 497 Posts	Posted 03/04/2018 11:52 am I've got a small group of (Possibly French?) Hammered coins I could do with some info on. Any help appreciated!

tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7962 Posts	Posted 03/04/2018 2:34 pm Photo 3 and 4 (oops! edit: photos 5 & 6) are a gros of Lorraine, Duke Rene I think. I will get back shortly with specifics. Photos 5 and 6 (edit: 7 and 8) Henry III of France dated 1588, and 9 and 10 Louis XII? Edited by tdziemia 03/04/2018 2:52 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34430 Posts	Posted 03/04/2018 10:13 pm Very nice work @tdziemia--it can be hard to keep track of thng with so many coins in the post. The only thing that I would add is that the denier with the holy sepulchre on one side and the cross with annulets in two diagonal quarters is most likely mid to late 12th Century Crusader States as I see part of IERVSALEM on the inscription.

Jeff 11 Valued Member United Kingdom 497 Posts	Posted 03/05/2018 06:12 am Thank you so much for your detailed information on these tdziemia. I am shamefully bad at hammered, and have quite a few lying around in the back of stock drawers I'm slowly trying to sort through. www.kingstoncoincompany.co.uk Report this Post to the Staff
tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7962 Posts	Posted 03/05/2018 06:32 am Quite a nice batch of coins! That Lorraine gros is more attractive than most you'll see at auction. You'll find an eager bunch out here waiting to help you ID the others. Report this Post to the Staff
