Ligurian Republic. 96 Lire, 1803 Anno VI. NELL' UNIONE LA FORZA

Hello

Would anyone be able to help with more information on this coin and the value?

Ligurian Republic. 96 Lire, 1803 Anno VI. NELL' UNIONE LA FORZA

I was able only to find one cached link to Stack's showing a price from a December 2001 catalogue but no other information.

I cannot believe there is nothing since Dec 2001!

God Bless

Hello Aidan

I posted the original and, if you are asking if the coin is genuine....I will answer you with a definitive, yes! It is one of the gold coins passed down through the family and originally, as the assortment of coins all being gold are different, I was hoping they were clues that might lead me to my line of ancestors. I hit a brick wall at my great-grandfather Leone Della Torre whose father was apparently Conte Della Torre and mother, Giulia Della Torre, later married a Nacamuli.

Be well and God bless

Juanita,the Ligurian Republic was one of quite a few Italian puppet states that was set up by Napoleon Bonaparte in the late 1790's.If you have a copy of the 18th. Century Krause catalogue,you will see what I mean.

You have got to be very careful,as there's a lot of forgeries of these coins.

96 Lire is an extremely odd denomination.I suppose that there was even a 48 Lire coin.

Here's an article; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ligurian_Republic .
