Further identification required. France.

3 posts • viewed 97 times

Hello everyone!

I bought this coin recently. I have been able to identify that…

A) It was made in France.

B) Most likely minted in the 15th century

But, I encountered a few problems regarding actual identification. The one I entered into my profile is a temporary solution. Here are my problems.

1st. The numbers of lilies. I thought that it was this coin, it fits almost perfectly. But, the lilies are inaccurate. There are three of them, not two.

2nd. I found a type that also has three lilies, it's sold here, on Etsy. It's almost the exact same!

There are some problems, though. Mainly regarding the legend.  Taking a look at the right arm of the cross, you can see that the character similar to a ‘//’ (in the legend) does not appear below the arm, but above, which is weird. 

3rd. At last, the weight is off. Possibly due to wear, but this coin weighs about 0.7g and not 1g, like usual. The diameter is similar to a double tournois, though. 

So, I would ask you all for help. Any help is appreciated! Thank you! Here are the photos, as detailed as possible:

Have a nice day!

Bump.

Bonjour, 

 

C'est parce que c'est un double tournois et non un denier tournois.

Il ressemble plus à ceci. Malheureusement j'arrive pas à voir correctement les lettres sur votre pièce.
