<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lueds, post: 5784058, member: 109500&quot;]I love unusual coins with interesting history:</p><p>This beauty is from The Subalpine Republic, Northern Italy, the 3rd Republic created (After Alba and Piedmontesse) by the French in The Austro/Russian/French Wars of The French Revolution.</p><p>Only issued for 2 years 1800 -1801 the coins were made from the melted down Bronze from Church Bells and Cannonballs from Turin.</p><p>The area was restored by The Vienna Conference of 1814-15 as The Kingdom of Sardinia, along with Genoa to provide a greater buffer zone between them and France.</p><p>This baby may have a planchet (Ragged edge) clip also, but I&#039;m not 100% sure on that</p><p>(If anyone could weigh in on this I&#039;d appreciate it. It&#039;s worn enough that I find it difficult to see if there is Blakesley effect)</p><p>Subalpine Republic 2 Soldi, Year 9 (1800-1801) Medallic Orientation</p><p>Enjoy</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1243299[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1243300[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
