<p>[QUOTE=&quot;wcg, post: 2386918, member: 77169&quot;]I find the baroque style at the turn of the century (late 1600s/early 1700s) to be very attractive. The engravers of this period of time are often called the &quot;Hamerani Dynasty&quot;, as several generations of the same family served as the lead engravers for the Papal mint.&nbsp; The dynasty was founded in the early 1600s and lasted through 1810.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>This is a 1707 Papal States Piastra (Scudo of 80 Bolognini) for Clemente XI.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8840/18408452781_74df8e634b_n.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7729/18402659242_e317417da8_n.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
