<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Eidolon, post: 7844710, member: 102103&quot;]I bought the coin above in part because I remembered the L monogram from 2 earlier Italian States coppers I had been unable to identify from <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/lot-of-71-copper-coins-italian-states-1500s-mostly.368516/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/lot-of-71-copper-coins-italian-states-1500s-mostly.368516/">this thread</a>.</p><p>Here are the two coins in question:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1350150[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1350151[/ATTACH] </p><p>The inscription around the &quot;L&quot; on the reverse of the righthand coin seems different than my coin above.&nbsp; Date looks like &quot;63&quot;.&nbsp; 0.65 g, ~16 mm, copper.&nbsp; Obverse (below) I can&#039;t make out much of anything.</p><p>Second coin (on left) I can make out &quot;OTTO&quot; from 12:00-3:00 on the reverse, and a date ending in zero.&nbsp; Quattrino was made in 1610, 1620, 1630 and 1640, so could possibly be any of those.&nbsp; 0.53 g, ~15 mm (irregular).&nbsp; <a href="http://www.rhinocoins.com/ITALY/TOSC2/LUCCA3.HTML" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.rhinocoins.com/ITALY/TOSC2/LUCCA3.HTML" rel="nofollow">Looks like</a> this design was also made in the 1500s going back to ~1543.&nbsp; But the early ones are listed at a heavier weight (1.5 g), so I&#039;m still favoring a 1600s quattrino for each.</p><p><br /></p><p>Unless there are any other states which used the &quot;L&quot; monogram on the reverse, I&#039;m going to assume these are both from Lucca also.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
