Comments
(en) Esterlin of English type, undated, struck at the beginning of Jean l'Aveugle's reign at the mint of Méraude (Poilvache). Apart from the English type, the mint of Méraude imitates in this period especially currencies sought in Brabant, Liège and Namur.
This type has a cross anchored at the beginning of the legend, against the type L#75-1, W#78, BV#72 which has a patted cross begins with legend.
The average weight of 4 pieces analyzed by Weiller was 1.06 g.
Extreme weight: 0.91 and 1.24 g.
Few known variants, the legend of the obverse can end without apostrophe.
First description of this piece by Mr. Ed Bernays in 1902 in the RBN.
