I'm sorry about the colour - the perils of having 'warm' lightbulbs - it's much more black and silver than it looks, definitely not gold! Any info gratefully received, thanks!

erafjel Pillar of the Community Sweden 2124 Posts	Posted 11/19/2023 1:45 pm It is a modern reproduction, maybe a museum souvenir. The original is a "gros" by French king Charles VI, issued 1413. It looks like this, and weighs about 2.9 g. Report this Post to the Staff

Lovely to see your photo tho, I notice that the fleur de lis are stamped into your coin rather than on my souvenir where they are above the surface. Same on the other side. I shall keep it for fun!

erafjel Pillar of the Community Sweden 2124 Posts	Posted 11/20/2023 1:13 pm You are welcome (and welcome to CCF as well!). Actually, cross, fleurs de lis, and letters are all in relief and are raised above the surface. It might be hard to tell which way it is from a picture taken from straight above.
