Description: | Medieval silver coin, known as a 'Crockard'. Medieval English pennies were widely imitated on the continent and were known as crockards and pollards. A 'Crockard' is a penny with the bust crowned with flowers; a 'Pollard' is a coin without a crown or flowers.
This coin is a silver hammered crockard of Gui of Collemede (1296 - 1306), who was the bishop of Cambrai, in France. On the obverse of the coin is the forward facing bust of Gui crowned by a chaplet of flowers. The lettering around the circumference of the coin reads: 'GVIUDO EPISCOPVS'. On the reverse of the coin is a long cross with three pellets in each angle. The lettering around the reverse reads 'CAMAREACENSIS'. | Subjects: | Crockard | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Wootton, Danielle - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
