Ex 51 Gallery, 9 December 2013, 249.

This enigmatic coin is at the moment a mystery: it was identified as possibly being from Melle, but the monogram used there is different, and the reverse inscription is highly uncertain. The monogram is clearly composed of the letters A, M and E: close to that used at Melle but not really truly similar. No doubt further research will reveal its secrets.
