Medieval Salutes To Mary.

The text explores the medieval salutes to Mary, specifically focusing on the coins minted during that time. These coins, known as saluto d'oro and saluto d'argento, were inspired by the Christian feast of the Annunciation and featured designs related to the event. Minted by Charles of Anjou, who ruled Sicily and other territories in Italy during the 13th century, the saluto d'oro was a gold coin, while the saluto d'argento was a silver coin. Both coins had inscriptions related to Mary and were highly valued during that time. Additionally, the text delves into the historical context and details of the salut d'or, a silver coin minted during the reign of Charles VI of France and Henry V of England. This coin, worth 1/15 of the salut d'oro, featured the Archangel Gabriel and the Virgin Mary in its design, with inscriptions symbolizing the power and authority of the French and English kings. The salut d'or is considered a rare and prized coin among collectors. [Extracted from the article]
