16d Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 Col..err...Corina, That is a 6 Tornesi. Can you take a pic of the bust? Coinage: In the second period of his Kingdom (July 1799-1806), Ferdinand minted silver piasters with the thousandths 1799, 1800 and 1802, and therefore 1804 (very rare); finally in 1805, he minted an artistic piaster and an half piaster. As concerns copper , he eliminated the 10, 8 and 5 tournois coins and minted 3 and 2 grain coins, i.e. 6 and 4 tournois coins bearing the portrait of the Sovereign, and also the grain of 1800 , the 9, 4 and 3 horses coins.

Throws many people astray that does, i believe depending upon the period the coin is from one or other is often missed off. Usually Naples.

28Plain Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 Wonder What Caused The Crack? Probably a red arrow. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corina Posted July 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 Here is the Pic of the Coin With Red Arrows Pointing to The Crack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elverno Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 Yeah, once you let those red arrows onto the dies they just collapse... Actually the Kingdom had pretty primitive equipment and went through dies quickly. My example is listed as Pagani 18b; there's at least another five or six variants mentioned I think. I do know that one of the first things Joesph Napoleon did upon becoming king of the mainland part of the Two Sicilies was import some French expertise and minting equipment. Murat kept it up but I suspect they had French die-cutters and engravers because when the Bourbons came back in 1815 the quality slipped to the almost cartoonish coins prior to 1806.

28Plain Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 Seriously, is the crack a die crack or is it n the planchet? looks more like a line from a die crack in the pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
