Oh, and I might as well toss-in my Italian job as well, eh?

I never get tired of seing those !! Amazing.

 

here's an other italian job from venice.


Venice, AR Gross, 1394-1399 AD
O: Doge Antonio Venier and St. Mark, R: Christ enthroned, 22 mm, 2.1 g

 

Wow, fantastic pieces all, lovely designs on 'em.

 

It's kinda funny too ... for these medieval babies are really, really thin, but they have fairly big diameters!! (basically, the opposite of the ol' Greek incuse babies)

apparently hammer-time was quite a different process when compared against the incuse-method ...

=> man, coins are so fricken cool, eh?

 

This one a little out of my area of my focus but such an amazing example of a James I shilling, I just had to have it! The toning and strike are about as good as it gets. 1603-1625
