<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Eidolon, post: 7844664, member: 102103&quot;]I think this one is a Quattrino of Lucca (Italian States), 1658&nbsp; (row 4, #3)</p><p>Copper (or billon?), ~15 mm (irregular), 0.60 g</p><p>Ob:&nbsp; Crowned head of St. Vultus, &quot;.SANCTVS.VLTVS&quot;</p><p>Rev:&nbsp; Letter &quot;L&quot; dividing last two years of date, 58 &quot;OTTO.IMPERATOR.&quot;</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1350123[/ATTACH]</p><p>Oddly, my 2011 Krause doesn&#039;t list this date for a quattrino, though they were made from 1601-1674.&nbsp; I can find it on other sources online, such as <a href="http://www.rhinocoins.com/ITALY/TOSC2/LUCCA2.HTML" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.rhinocoins.com/ITALY/TOSC2/LUCCA2.HTML" rel="nofollow">here</a>, <a href="https://www.catawiki.com/en/l/50152141-italy-republic-of-lucca-quattrino-1658" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.catawiki.com/en/l/50152141-italy-republic-of-lucca-quattrino-1658" rel="nofollow">here</a> or <a href="https://www.ma-shops.com/linnartz/item.php?id=500721" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ma-shops.com/linnartz/item.php?id=500721" rel="nofollow">here</a>.</p><p>I&#039;d feel more confident about the date if I could fine a list of the rulers of Luca showing an Otto or Odo who reigned in 1658 or 1558 or whenever.&nbsp; I&#039;m pretty sure it&#039;s not from the 1700s or later.</p><p>Here&#039;s one from online where you can make out some additional details (from 2nd link above).&nbsp; The ended auction lists it as silver, but I think a quattrino would be made from copper.&nbsp; The duetto (2 quattrini) would be billon, at 1.5 g is much too big for my coin.&nbsp; (Image, coin below not mine).</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1350133[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
