This is a continental sterling issued by Enguerrand of Créqui as Bishop of Cambrai who was Bishop of Cambrai from 1273-1285.
The obverse shows the arms of the Diocese of Cambrai and reads IGER/RAN/N EPC for Bishop Enguerrand. The reverse legend reads MON/CAM/ERA/CEN which is the mint signature for Cambrai; Cameracensis is the Latin word for Cambrai.
This is only the second coin of Enguerrand on the PAS and is considered to be a Find of Note of Regional Importance.
