A huge European silver

Italian States. Genoa. AR 2 Scudi. 1676. 78g. VF. Scarce.

Obv: Madonna and child. Rev: Cross surrounded by cherubs.

A huge silver coin issued by the state of Genoa. The weightage system conforms to the average crown but unlike other issues, their weight and size doubles accordingly as illustrated in comparison to my palm.

Thanks.. My only other Thaler I am hoping for 1 day is a Joachimstahl..

 

I'm not sure which bothers me more: the complete disregard for significant figures or the mention of melt value for a coin like this.

SPECIFICATIONS

The numismatic value way exceed the melt..haha

 

thanks for the price website.

 

You'r welcome.. Actually even the NGC prices are but a reference.. they may also vary according to auctions

 

A wonderful coin. Congrats.

 

Thanks @Mat .. I’m starting to love old European crowns more and more...

 

That's a tremendous piece of history and numismatic art. Like Doug, I'm mystified that anyone would even think about the melt value of such a thing.

 

I think NGC is probably more concerned about its commercial instead of historical value...lol
