Description:		A sterling of Guy de Dampierre (1279-1305), Marquis of Namur, Count of Flanders. Obverse Legend: G MARCHIO NAMVR - Guy, Marquis of Namur Reverse legend: MONETA NAMVR - Mint (or Money) of Namur Towards the end of the 13th century, sterlings of the Low Countries began to circulate widely (but unofficially) in England, and this type, with its bare-headed bust, was colloquially known as a ’pollard’. The issuers of these coins based their designs on the contemporary English pennies (sterlings), which enjoyed a high reputation for quality. This was done to promote their circulation, and by the early years of the 14th century, it was difficult to distinguish between the English pennies and their Continental imitations.

Description:		A quarter noble of Philip the Bold, Duke of Burgundy (1363-1404) and Count of Flanders (1384-1404), Philip issued English-style nobles, half nobles and quarter nobles in response to English demands that wool bought in Calais should be paid for in nobles. The quarter noble is possibly the rarest of the three denominations, all of which are rare. One noble is recorded on the PAS as NMGW-C601CE and one half noble as SUR-54DB38, but no quarter noble of this issue appears to have been recorded on that database. Interestingly, a poor quality copy of the quarter is recorded on the present database as UKDFD 23740.

Description:		Denier of Louis VII and Bishop Gautier I (1151-1155) or Bishop Gautier II (1155-1174) of Laon. SCMF (The Silver Coins of Medieval France) notes that Lafaurie attributes coins of this type to Bishop Gautier I if the C of EPC in the reverse legend is curved, and to Bishop Gautier II if it is square. Unfortunately the letter is unclear on the present coin, but surviving traces of the back suggest that the latter is more likely.
