Junioricus publishes on its website found a penny in January this year (see this forum ) which leaves me extremely puzzled.
Description:
+ XPTS VINCIIT II.S under - in a beading.
R + PE Cross LIIICONIS VIC pattee in beading.
For the occasion, here my monograph on the workshop of Langres (2004) and below the corresponding boards.

It seems that this is the oldest known coin issued in Langres (ninth century, therefore).
What is surprising is the coincidence between this room:
- a penny novel
- currency oldest workshop
- enrollment without equivalent or later or elsewhere.
Even taking the IIS to the monogram of a bishop or degeneration of some thing, there is the legend that surrounds it.
And I met the legend that XPC VINCIT from St. Louis: VINCIT XPC XPC XPC IMPERAT reign.
So this would be a lot of Langres penny ahead using the legend (a apax total). A quick search would be exciting to do on the history of the theology of Christ the King.
Also on this money we would have a strong link between registration and field legend, since it would read: Christus vincit Ihesus .
the reverse, a process that surprises me less interesting: Lincon CIVI RE, where the last two words are the beginning of Civitas, and the word REX. I have already met the following practice: writing a legend signifying (Lingones Civitas) but end with the letters that mimic the end of the legend of another currency (LVDOVICVS ER) leads to a slight confusion.
This letter substitution occurs primarily either side of the Croisette original.
The best example is the imitation by the Bishop of Cambrai Peter IV of Andrew, the royal guest of Jean le Bon (legend IOhS DEI GRA REX FRANC - Duplessy 1999, 293) by setting IOh'ES legend: LVCΛS-MRCVS: MΛTh'S (P.-Ch. ROBERT Numismatic Cambrai, pl. XIV, No. 7).

This practice, which is at the fringe of imitation, which certifies that the eye is the portal on the legend looked especially either side of the Croisette.
short, this penny unpublished Langres is quite remarkable, and combines features such that one is tempted to believe an error. And yet it is there ... and deserves attention.
