France 1200-1300 Silver Denier Besancon Right Hand of God D-3022 Ex. J. Stewart

France 1200-1300 Silver Denier Besancon

 These Medieval coins are the earliest
that featured the Right Hand of God, "Manus Dei" in Latin, without depicting who
was receiving the blessing.

This gave everyday people of the time the
suggestion that they were a recipient of that divine blessing.



France Silver Denier. 16 mm. 1.11g.

Issued circa 1200-1300 AD.

Obverse: Hand of God at center.
