Hi Ho SILVER!!!

[mindcrime1988]

I found one of these medieval Gros Tournois about a month ago and I've always wanted to go back to that area because I know that when you find one coin, there's bound to be more. So me and a buddy went back out there and sure enough we found four more! Needless to say we were ecstatic after finding these 700 year old coins! Plus we found a few broken pieces of silver too.

But there is one small problem, I know these are made after the King of France but I'm not sure which one ?

At first I thought they were made in honor of King Philip IV but then after doing some research, I see that King Philip III and King Philip V had the same type of coin. At least that is from what I can tell. I'm sure there are differences but I'm not an expert in this area. Can anybody help me out and identify these coins? Thanks.

Look like coinage from Philip IV the Fair 1285 - 1314. Nice finds! What part of Germany are you in? HH, Mike
