    Shake hands! I will now go for silver coinage, at least in Imperial Roman coinage.

    Me too Mat! Basel issued some of the most beautifull coinage, esp. 1580-1750

    They had a 1741 20 Dukaten FDC obv. City/rev. Basilisk on Sincona auction, sooooo nice but in my dreams.

    Had to google it, but yeah it's cool looking. I like those cityscape designs from the past.

    Makes you wonder, why they cannot make coins like that today!
