<p>[QUOTE=&quot;princeofwaldo, post: 4789163, member: 24091&quot;]Looks like HA uses the term Piastre as well, though NGC uses the abbreviation Pia.&nbsp; Interesting observation though, as I too generally think of early 20th century Egyptian coinage when the term Piastre comes up.&nbsp; Here&#039;s another example of the coin, this one NGC AU58 that sold for an astronomical sum 4 years ago.&nbsp; Sure makes me think I got a terrific deal on the one I just won. </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://coins.ha.com/itm/tuscany/world-coins-italian-states/italy-tuscany-francesco-i-de-medici-piastra-1575-au58-ngc-/a/3048-32377.s?ic4=GalleryView-ShortDescription-071515" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://coins.ha.com/itm/tuscany/world-coins-italian-states/italy-tuscany-francesco-i-de-medici-piastra-1575-au58-ngc-/a/3048-32377.s?ic4=GalleryView-ShortDescription-071515" rel="nofollow">https://coins.ha.com/itm/tuscany/world-coins-italian-states/italy-tuscany-francesco-i-de-medici-piastra-1575-au58-ngc-/a/3048-32377.s?ic4=GalleryView-ShortDescription-071515</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
