England but I'm not sure [solved]

9 posts
I can't find this coin in Numista or any other site. On one side there are two lions which I think means England. On the other side there is a man (farmer?) with the letters F and O. Diam. approx. between 24 and 30 mm. Material: I think bronze (but not sure).

Who knows this one?

Try out the subissuers under France - Feudal. I'm not sure, and I could be miles off, but I see "FR" on the upper left of the reverse on your coin.

Also, England has three lions, not two.
I thought 2 lions was Normandy.
​True, but Normandy doesn't have the stripe-like things in the field. The Netherlands' does, however, and this got me thinking....


Frisia, a fedual issuer of the Netherlands, does, and it's CoA matches up with your coin! FR also makes sense in this context.
.... and voilà! I was right!

So one of these:

Nice work, I got distracted by the frisian sceats and have decided I want one.

Date has completely gone on OPs coin by looks of it.
Thanks a lot all you coin fanaticus.
I’m rather sure it’s this one because the text is in lune with the crown above the shield while the others the crown is under the text.

And this one is for sale soon (for the right price).
;)
Always a pleasure!
