I have examined an object reported found at Filkins area, Oxfordshire. The object is a piedfort or piéfort striking of the coin-type known as the denier tournois of Louis IX, King of France (1226-70).The reference to the coin is J. Duplessy, Les monnaies françaises royales (1988) no. 193. Two other examples of this type of piedfort have been published. Finds of single coins are not normally considered as potential Treasure. However, non-functional coins or coin-like objects of precious metal do have the potential to be so considered. The first piedfort reported under the Trea…

A silver piedfort striking of the coin known as a blanc au léopard sous couronne, second type, struck by King Edward III as Duke of Aquitaine, probably in the mid 1350s. Piedforts are unusual objects and their actual purpose has never been clearly established. In most cases, they are objects struck from the dies of a currency coin, but using a blank of unusual thickness and weight. However, the weights of surviving piedforts do not seem to relate to the weights of the currency coins - they are never multiples of these. This is the most obvious feature that sets them apart from usa…
