Luxembourg
Jean l'Aveugle gold Florin ND (1310-1346) VF30 NGC, Fr-1. This florin should properly be placed under Bohemia although Friedberg does not distinguish these florins and gives them to both Bohemia and Luxembourg. Despite having lost his eyesight a decade earlier, at the great Battle of Crécy in 1346, John had his knights tie their horses together so that he could fight the English. He died together with all his men in that pivotal battle. A pleasing example with a hint of rose-gold tone around the devices.
