That, and the Katanga Cross coin. Far and away the coolest coin struck anywhere in 1961 and with a great story to go with it. Same coin in...
I like this last group far and away more than the others.
Great story. Thanks.
I actually know where that is, we passed right by it on our way to Friedrichshafen a couple years ago.
Anyone have a Saint Bridget of Ireland coin out there? Heck, I didn't even know she was from Ireland until the other day. [ATTACH]
Saint Leopold. [ATTACH]
Great design. You can tell he's a saint by the way he's holding his head. One of the fascinating things about Italian frescoes in Tuscany, was...
A few of the minors. Seems like these usually turn-up in nice condition. I wonder if any of them actually circulated. Somewhat similar to...
I've got 4 different dates. This the nicest. The others are MS62 and MS63 but with pretty luster and no ugly blotchy tone so common to the...
Why stop at breaking it out? Need to head to St. Petersburg and spend it in the subway! It's a neat coin, but there's dozens of other Russian...
Would love to have added a 1914-R Italy 5 Lire when they were still under 10 grand. Decent ones now trading for $15k and up. The 1911-R Italy 5...
Nice one!! Here's the 1917-R Lira. Probably the easiest GEM with this design to acquire, even super nice looking examples like this one are...
I dumped all of my less valuable Italian coins and spent most of the proceeds on this coin. Much better date than the 1931 issue. The rest was...
Earlier design, -- much tougher to find these in nice condition than those struck during the war. Up until 1912 they circulated freely. Once the...
The 1911 Italy 2 Lire with quadrigga reverse had a slightly different coin design, hence different KM number. The obverse legends had an inner...

Not sure what happened to my image of the 1917. I didn't own it for long before deciding to sell the set. Also included the 1911 commem in MS64...
I had the complete 2 Lire set and decided to sell along with all of my other Italian silver minors. Sold at Stack's a couple of years ago in a...
I'm a world collector by avocation, so even if it were within my reach (which it wasn't) not likely I would have been bidding. On a side note,...
I thought the same thing, especially the rim bruise on the reverse at 2 o'clock. Looks like metal from the rim has been pushed into the field. I...
