sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 02/09/2019 8:52 pm I have a copy of Mayhew's book: 'Coinage in France From the Dark ages to Napoleon', (164 pages), publ. Seaby, London, 1988. Illustrates nearly 300 coins in all metals, covers almost the same period of time. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34419 Posts	Posted 02/09/2019 9:07 pm Ron, the organization of Roberts book takes some getting used to. As you are finding out, the coins are separated first by type (e.g. Feudal) and then by major design element (typically from the side that doesn't have a cross). You have a nice pick-up here.

tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7950 Posts	Posted 02/09/2019 11:21 pm Really interesting coin! Is that a temple type motif, or something else? And Montreuil is a new one to me for French mints (though I think I've seen that indicated as the end of one of the Paris Metro lines?) Report this Post to the Staff

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 02/10/2019 2:52 pm Thanks all. Haven't gotten the book yet Dave, I don't have any reference material on these coins so when I saw this I grabbed it. Not sure if that a mint or a sub-type, I have those same questions, hopefully the book will answer those questions. Report this Post to the Staff
