Medieval French Charles VII Solid Bronze Coins

"A soldier marches on his stomach, but an army moves on hard coin. In the forge or on the road, true bronze carries weight you can trust." Osric, Keeper of the Hearth & Forge

During the turbulent campaigns of the Hundred Years' War, currency was the lifeblood of the French crown. These historically inspired replicas capture the sovereign presence of King Charles VII, cast faithfully in a pure copper-tin bronze alloy. At a substantial 2.8 centimetres in diameter and an individual weight of 8 grams, each piece provides a reassuring, tactile presence in the hand, far removed from flimsy modern tokens.

Every coin features detailed motifs honouring the French monarch, evoking an age of siegecraft, royal consolidation, and hard-fought sovereignty. For living history demonstrators, these pieces serve admirably within a camp merchant's display, a gambler's dice table, or securely stowed inside a leather scrip hanging from your arming girdle. They provide seasoned reenactors, educators, and collectors with a genuine physical link to fifteenth-century trade and politics.

To care for these bronze coins upon campaign, keep them dry and allow them to take on a natural handling patina over time, or stow them together in a pouch where friction keeps the high-relief features polished. Whether used to instruct students on medieval metallurgy, presented as a distinctive token to a fellow collector, or kept upon your mantlepiece, these replicas bring authentic fifteenth-century craftsmanship and royal history into your company.
