    I might have that and think it is from Ireland or Scotland.

    Welcome to the forum MJW.
    Afraid not. Even without Skylark's link, the legend tells us that it is a coin of Charles Albert, King of Sardinia, Cyprus and Jerusalem; and the Lire denomination tells us it is from an Italian state.

    When reading the details at Skylark's link, bear in mind that Europeans use the comma as a decimal point, and the period as a thousands seperator, so we are talking about 32+grams and almost four thousand pieces, not 32 Kg and not quite four pieces. :D

    I certainly hope that the rubbing was made with a verrrrrry soft pencil, to avoid scratching or marking the original coin, but I would never allow anyone to make any kind of pencil rubbing of any of my gold coins. :eek:
