january1may Pillar of the Community Russian Federation 5172 Posts	Posted 06/02/2024 2:33 pm Probably a billon quart of Sebastien de Montfalcon (spellings vary in sources), bishop of Lausanne (Switzerland), 1517-36. Catalogued as Dolivo 97, whatever that means. The obverse features a cross with ermines and falcons in alternating quadrants, and the reverse is supposed to show Madonna with baby Jesus, though they seem to be sitting next to each other rather than in the typical "on her lap" pose. There's a bunch of obverse legend variants but I can't quite make any of them match the apparent IAS visible in the top right part of the coin; my best guess is that it could perhaps be a bungled LAVS from MONETA LAVSANEI (or similar).
