Friendly ask for help to determine this medieval Sterling ( Esterlin)

Coin found in the Netherlands , 17 mm , silver

Any info is welcome

Greetz from the Netherlands , Pinpoint

Mayhew in his Sterling Imitations, page 56, gives a hint on a shield-type sterling with three lions rampant. It belongs to Enguerrand of Créqui, Bishop of Cambrai (1273-1285). Unfortunately this shield-type was excluded in Mayhew's study so there is no further information in this book. But the inscription on the cross-side seems to be: MON CAM ERA CEN (Moneta Cameracensis)

My idea seems to be right, Baldwin's would sell your coin for about 400 pounds: http://www.vcoins.com/ancient/baldwins/ ... roduct=994
