Ætheling Posted July 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 I like my early modern coins to look early modern, and like coins. The Papal one is a stunning piece but it seems a tad ahead of it's time and a tad to medallic for my expectations of this period. So Saddam gets it.

Ian Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 I like the perspective scene on the papal coin, but I have to say, i like the three dimensionalism of Mr Bathori a lot more.....and the guitarists nails on the shield just clinch it for me Ian (finger pickin' good!)

bill Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 Ian's entry represents the best of what I like about coins of this period. I like the relief. I like the obverse image extending into and superimposed on the outer legend ring. An exceptional coin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Sisu Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Great coins both, a very tough choice. The reverse of the scudo won me over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
