You are probably correct-- that the front scene is a common motif. The other coin with the inscription "camera computorum neustriae" (which means "accounting room of Normandy") shows a money-handler depositing his coins at the feet of Justice. If the accountants did not worship Justice, then accounts might easily get out of balance.

Let me know if you find out anything about either of these coins.

I haven't found anything but conspiracy sites. Really seems to be a mistery.

Tomorrow I'll buy a Latin dictionary and Caesars "de bello Gallico". I had it in school for five years but forgot a lot of it. Superfluous knowledge but still very sad. Probably easy to fresh it up and a good way to get tired when reading in bed.
