<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mat, post: 4490501, member: 21445&quot;]I recently partook in my first auction of Franks. Usually, I stick to world coin lists &amp; cheap or unsold lots.</p><p><br /></p><p>This particular coin caught my eye as I didn&#039;t know it was a type that existed. They seem to be fairly common but everywhere I looked they seemed expensive for me. So I sent I bid and ended up winning it just a few dollars under.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have a great interest in anything of Christopher Columbus &amp; Napoleon. They are the 2 historical figures that I took an interest in during my school years &amp; got me into history.</p><p><br /></p><p>I was happy with getting a Spanish 2 reales of Ferdinand &amp; Isabella &amp; a Napoleon 5 francs several years ago. This particular coin is just a nice addition to the Christopher Columbus side.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.postimg.cc/dVvSTk32/ferditaly.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Ferdinando I (Don Ferrante).
