CARo _ LVS (inscribed in two lines).

MED RxF (the letters MED mixed with one globule inside, the letters R, x and F under a tilde, one globule in the loop of the letter R, another to the right of the tilde. Four diamond-shaped globules below the letter R?).

Photo of a coin old by Jean Elsen & ses Fils S.A., link to the sale and their website: http://www.elsen.eu/Auction-142/-691-739-HAUT-MOYEN-AGE-DARK-AGES/emodule/4145/eitem/94464.

Coin incomplete, the four globules below the letter R are probably present but off the blank, other globules may also be off the blank. The globule on the reverse, in the middle of MED and mentioned in other variants as being glued to the upper part, is here very clear and unglued from the letters.

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.
