I posted in the World Coins about some kind of variation of a medieval florin but have not had any replies. Perhaps some regular readers of the...
Yes, now that I know what I am looking for. I could not find it in my Sear book. Thanks a lot.
I just picked this up at a coin show, a well worn Ancient Greek something ($5). It would make a good gift if I could figure out the city state...
I'd like some opinions on what this coin might be. It is purported to be a medieval, 14th century Florin of Florence but I have my doubts. First...

Well, that is quite a site. I wonder if the person selling his is actually downloading and printing these copies from this bond detector.
Will do, right now.
Thanks, again, for the encouragement. By the way someone is selling on line (for several months now)what it is purported to be a post Civil War...
Thanks for that bit of information. I still hope to be able to acquire one for my own collection.
