Title: French coin??? Post by: herbie on October 08, 2011, 01:27:41 PM HI
I think this is a French Ecu, but no idea of age, any help with ID / dating it much appreciated. Sorry about the photos but that's as good as it gets I'm afraid. One side has shield with 3 fleur de lys within, other side has a cross with a fleur de lys at each point. Cheers Herbie Title: Re: French coin???

I know what you mean Wayno, that's what I was thinking at first. Title: Re: French coin??? Post by: dances with badgers on October 08, 2011, 04:55:11 PM weldone erbie eeh oh eeh oh eeh oh eh
