<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2446136, member: 19463&quot;]I believe the coin in Banti page 114 15/21 is the same BUT he lists the device as &#039;beota&#039; which my complete lack of Italian and about half of the online translators give either as idiot or Boetian.&nbsp; I believe that Boetians were looked down upon by Italians so the two meanings are the same in one sense.&nbsp; However, the Boetian shield was shaped like the two overlapping coins if you allow enough wear to remove the Janus detail.&nbsp; This is a coin that would only be recognized in an EF example unless I miss my guess.&nbsp; A bit of wear would turn that shape into the Boeotian shield.&nbsp; Have you searched for coins that claim a shild as the minor type rather than coins?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>When you showed this coin before, I wanted one but now I believe what I need will be a worn shield looking stack of coins.&nbsp; That may be a bit of a dream.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
