    Got this today, but I think it was misattributed.
    Description was "Papal states, Innocent X, 1644-55, Silver Giulio"
    But it seems too big for a Giulio. Weighs 9.32 g, ~29 mm diameter

    I think the obverse says: "P.MAX.A.XI PAVLVS.V."
    Reverse: "S.PAVLVS. .ALMA.ROMA"
    From the weight I'm thinking maybe a testone of year XI = 1615.
    But I haven't been able to find a good match of the reverse in Krause or on Numista.
    To me it looks like St. Paul standing with a book on the left and a sword on the right.
    Any advice would be much appreciated!
