Hi all,
Well, I curently have in my posession a "carlin" or "gros" from the papal city of Avignon, which appears to be from Benedict XIII.
Although it's struck on a short
flan, the
legend seems to be :
O/ BENEDIT:PP:TREDEM, pope facing seated
R/ SANTVS:PETRVS:ET:PAVLVS, two big keys crossed
It's 22 mm and 2.00 gr
I found a reference in
Poey d'Avant : #4214.
First of all : I'm not 100% sure it's Benedit XIII, but I can't find out any other
legend that fits what I see
Then, I've been unable to find any occurence of such a coin in the sites, books,
auction catalogs available around me. Would anyone have a reference, has a similar coin been seen in the past years ?
Thanks for your input
