FRANCE, Royal. Charles VI le Bien-Aimé/le Fol (the Well-Beloved/the Mad). 1380-1422. AV Agnel d’or (23mm, 2.52 g, 12h). Paris(?) mint. 2nd emission, 21 October 1417. Agnus Dei (Lamb of God) standing left, head right within polylobe; behind, banner set on cruciform standard with central pellet-in-annulet behind; •k•F RX• below / Cross fleurée with central star within angled quadrilobe; lis in quarters; cross, three pellets, and lis in spandrels; pellet below eighteenth letter. Duplessy 372C2; Ciani 498; Friedberg 290. VF.


The pellet under the eighteenth letter on the reverse indicates a Paris mint origin. Where a corresponding mintmark on the obverse should occur, however - a pellet under the T of PЄCAT, our coin has the unusual variant PЄCA´ followed by an annulet.
