At this address you can leaf through the ultimate catalogue of coins issued in the name of Louis XI of France: LES MONNAIES DE LOUIS XI, 22 juillet 1461 – 30 août 1483 by Gérard Crepin.

You can also download the book on that page. If you are interested in medieval coins or French coins, I urge you to do so. It is hard to imagine a more complete catalogue and this one is free.

What was that? Yes, it is in French. Be brave. The download is a fully searchable pdf, you can copy text and Google translate will do the rest. Much of the catalogue is self-evident anyway.

With a big THANK YOU to the author and to Parisian dealer CGB, where the book was published (Edition les Cheveau-légers) and who hosts it, in the proud tradition of Michel Prieur.

An unidentified coin is a piece of metal. An identified coin is a piece of history.
