Comment
Spink indicated this type was also struck in Bergerac but without giving corresponding mintmarks.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Gold Chair coin is that it features an image of King Edward III of England, who ruled from 1362 to 1372, seated on a throne, surrounded by symbols of the four evangelists. The coin's design is a representation of the king's authority and divine right to rule.
