I went out metal detecting today in search of some more WWII items. I found some American rounds and a few German but then I stumbled upon this incredible beauty. I couldn't believe my eyes when I first saw it. I could tell it was silver but I just did not know how old it was. After a little research, I believe I know what it is. Philippe IV le bel or "the fair" was king of France. These were minted during his rule from 1285-1314. I found a coin which is 700 years old!!! I don't think this grin will leave me anytime soon!
***If anybody knows a little bit more about this coin, please let me know. Thanks for looking!
