One of the first English type esterlins struck between 1309 and 1333 at the Luxembourg mint.
Jean the Blind dominated a small part of Poland and claimed the title of King of Poland.
The reason why he calls himself King of Poland P OL on the piece of this sheet. The true King of Poland, Casimir III the Great, paid him on August 24th, 1333, a considerable sum of 20,000 marks of silver, solely to obtain from him that he cease to adorn himself with the title. It is therefore assured that this type was struck before this date (BV, p. 94)
Average weight of 21 pieces: 1.3 g.
Two variants of the legend known for the obverse, none for the reverse:
a. ⋮IOhAnNЄ (eagle) S⋮ DЄI⋮ GRA
b. ⋮IOhAnNE (eagle) S⋮ DEI⋮ GRA
