One side has a short cross in the center with lettering CIVIT ? NIVUR ? (I think). The other side has a lis with a bar and 2 stars in the center with illegible (to me) lettering. Anyone have any idea on this? Thanks in advance. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34427 Posts	Posted 04/27/2019 3:12 pm @n6, your first image is upside down, but I'm pretty sure that the inscription is actually +NIVERNIS CIVIT. That would make this a really nice 13th Century denier of the French County of Nevers.
