Love the coin @Mat and for $20 I think it is a great purchase. It's a type I'm going to add to my list of coins to buy.
Sure thing. I'll take the 20 in U.S. gold dollars dating from 1849-1889, at least MS-63. Just send me a pm.
@Mat to kick off an Easter thread you can't get any more Resurrection-centric that that type! Well done!!! I have the same type... ...but had to pay way more than you did. :-/ Italy. Venice. AR Mezzanino Nuovo (1.2 Grosso) Doge Andrea Dandolo; 1342-1354 A.D. Rev.: Resurrection of Christ from ossuary, nimbate, holding Cross; XPS RESVRESIT. Obv.: St. Mark holding banner, Doge Dandolo, P in ex.; AN DADVL SM VENE DVX. Diam.: 15.8 mm. Weight: .757 gr. Attribution: Biaggi 2822. Paolucci 3. As @Deacon Ray pointed out, (see his post above for details), there is a connection between this coin and the Plague. Sadly. that makes this coin just a little more fitting to today. Kudos to @Severus Alexander for the SPES PVBLICA! Yours is much nicer than mine. Happy Blessed Easter!
Great coin. Mind as repost mine: Andrea Dandolo (1342-1354 A.D.) AR Mezzanino Nuovo O: AN DADVL SM VENE DVX, Doge and St. Mark holding banner, P in ex. R: •XPS•RE[ S ]-VRESIT•, Christ emerging from tomb, holding banner and cross. .77g 15mm Biaggi 2822[/S]
