    Ive always thought this was a beautiful bust. I guess shes someone from an italian state but google doesnt bring up nothing on her and little on her husband.

    Oh and best of all this coin was just a tad over an andrew jackson!

    I do enjoy early moderns just as much as ancients. :)

    Nice coin!

    I read somewhere that the Spinola family employed Christopher Columbus
    as their agent in Lisbon.

    Cool one Mat. Can't really say I know much about the coin, or coins like it, but it does look nice.
