<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scottjlyons, post: 139202, member: 5869&quot;]I am not even sure I am in the correct forum but I would appreciate your help.</p><p><br /></p><p>I was recently married in Siena, Italy and we were awarded two beautiful coins by the Mayor who married us. He tried to explain to us in broken English that these were very precious coins to Siena and that we were privalidged to be given them. These coins were produced during the height of Sienese power (1496-1514 AD)and are in mint condition. He said that there were many fakes out there but these were the real deal and could only be obtained by gift through the Comune Di Siena (City Council).</p><p><br /></p><p>I have a little card that came with them that says &quot;Comune Di Siena, Palazzo Repubblico&quot; (which was where we married) and then on the back it says &quot;Il Sanese d&#039;argento a. 1496-1514&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any idea about the history of these coins or their value? I would very much like to insure them as they mean a great deal to my wife and I.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you so much for your help with this. I hope you find it interesting.<img src="http://www.cointalk.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=11715&amp;stc=1&amp;d=1151049439" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
