Comments

(en) Other reference: de Saulcy Plate II, 4
There is a similar type which lacks the dots before CI and after ES. (de Saulcy Plate IV, 3).

While the reign of Duke Mathieu II was 1218-1251, the town of Sierck was only added to the territory of the Duke of Lorraine in 1247, so this coin can be dated more narrowly.
