orfew Pillar of the Community Canada 1269 Posts	Posted 01/27/2019 10:44 pm Sorry Ron. I was not trying to compare the 2 or steal your thunder at all. I just found it interesting that I had one too. In fact I also have a Phillip II Augustus and a Louis IX. Report this Post to the Staff

tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7948 Posts	Posted 01/28/2019 08:14 am I also used to have a blanc of Charles, but I weeded out my French Royals over the last few years to focus on other areas. (Though I kept some photos to occasionally torment myself with regret ). I think this is a nice, classic medieval coin. Large enough to easily read the gothic legends (KAROLVS REX FRANCORVM; SIT NOME DNI BENEDICTV), and that historic coat of arms used for nearly 500 years. And reasonably nice examples are within reach for most collectors. You might be able to narrow the date range. I do not have a reference on medieval France, but I see in Jean Elsen's offerings of the medieval French blancs that there are multiple "emissions" in each reign which must have some identifying characteristics to allow a narrower date range. I think mine was 1411-1419. Edited by tdziemia 01/28/2019 08:25 am Report this Post to the Staff
