<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mikjo0, post: 122582, member: 3565&quot;]Bone,</p><p>what you basically have there is a third generation type coin,a copy of a copy as it is.Here&#039;s how it worked.In the 12-14th centuries,the king of all Euro coinage was the Venetian grosso,always featuring Christ enthroned on on side and the local big guy posed on the other side of a staff from the local patron saint.It was the Yankee dollar of it&#039;s day.Next,the Balkan countries say &quot;hey,we can do that too&quot; and make coins that are patterned after grossi with the same layout but a bit cruder in the art department if you get my drift.Next,Poland,Hungary and a few other future eastern Bloc countries try their hand at it and your coin is the result.Reminds me of a first grader&#039;s artwork that you put on the fridge.You gotta love them though.:smile[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
