Title: Re: coin Post by: The Doc on April 13, 2009, 10:17:23 PM I thought this looked a bit different Mike. it's a Sterling of Robert of Bethune, and I think a very rare one unless the buyer of the coin pictured here got very carried away. This looks the same as yours, but i can't quite tell if the lettering on the reverse is the same (MONETA GANDES). The head side looks the same to me (EDL ROBERTVS COMES). See here:

Title: Re: coin Post by: altinkum on April 13, 2009, 10:40:34 PM just done a search on robert of buthune and it say's he was a bishop or somthing so as he was never a king i suppose it is quite rare to have a coin minted after you. mike
