Description: | A medieval silver coin; a continental sterling imitation crockard of John II of Avesnes, the Count of Hainaut (1280-1307). The mint is Valenciennes in Hainaut. It is suggested that Valenciennes struck the earliest Hainaut sterlings in c. AD1290-1, then was closed during the rebellion of the town against John of Avesnes in 1291-7, and was then reopened in 1297 as documents show. See Mayhew number 24, and 28 - 32. Compare with SWYOR-3F4A35, YORYM-95B641, BH-3C0C57, NARC-55A846 and KENT-7536A7.
