<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gallienus, post: 4263777, member: 42034&quot;]Very nice gold 20 scudi of 1778.&nbsp; My old Krause mentions that these were 16.00 grams and 84% gold.&nbsp; They also made silver crowns around the same time.&nbsp; After the French took and occupied the island they [the French] apparently used cut down gold &amp; silver coins as seige pieces.</p><p><br /></p><p>Looking briefly I see no attempt to make this piece equivalent to the other gold coins of the various Italian Kingdoms nearby.&nbsp; An interesting piece to be sure...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
