Hello guys,

I have this coin:

0,93 grams , 16 mm

On one side i can see Ludovic i guess, and on the other side AVG??

Any ideas? Thank you!

Hmm judging by the shape of the cross and the circles around the cross, i'd say its closer to Dombes:

What do you think?

Probably LVDOVICVS FRANCORUM REX for one of the king Louis?
