<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kevin McGonigal, post: 3258364, member: 72790&quot;]I&#039;d like some opinions on what this coin might be. It is purported to be a medieval, 14th century Florin of Florence but I have my doubts. First of all the weight is way off. These coins should be about 3.5 grams and this one is a full 5.0 grams. Also from its color it seems more like something of 14 carat, not 24 carat gold. Also it appears to be a milled rather than a hammered coin and the edge may show signs of a seam or filing. Before I dismiss this, however, as a modern fantasy jeweler&#039;s piece I was wondering if this might be an attempt by some older entity to reproduce these coins as a medieval or early modern piece, perhaps from India where these things often wind up in jewelry. any help appreciated[ATTACH=full]856618[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]856619[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]856620[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]856620[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
