CARo _ LVS (inscribed in two lines with a globule between the letter A and the letter V).

Rx F (the letters R, x and F under a tilde, a globule in the middle, three globules with the globule in the middle in the shape of a triangle, aligned vertically to the left of the letter R).



One copy preserved at the Münzkabinett der Staatlichen Museen of Berlin, link to the page of their website showing the photo of the coin: http://www.smb-digital.de/eMuseumPlus?service=ExternalInterface&module=collection&objectId=2439744&viewType=detailView.

 

Very ressembling to the illustrations of old works, but with a globule in the middle on the obverse which must have been forgotten. The coin of Berlin is indeed worn and the globule is hardly visible. In addition, the signs of wear on the letter F on the obverse and the letter V on the reverse are also present on the coin.

 

The coins of Aix-La-Chapelle and Milan are very similar .. I considered that the coins with the mention MED are from Milan and that all those not having this group of letters are for the mint of Aix-La-Chapelle.
