Greetings from Norway!

I’m a big fan, and hardcore goldbug, and I just have a quick question about a gold coin Nick Hood got as a gift from Marshal of France, Jean de Maingre, in your book Agincourt, page 267.

“It was gold, the size of a shilling, and he guessed it was worth a year’s wages”

What coin is this, and how much gold did it contain?

Best regards,

Oddvar Stallemo.
