I have done that before - especially when I'm not near my collection and see a coin I'm interested in and impulsively buy it only to have it when I check at home.  but nice it turned out well for you, (nice subtle difference there)

An interesting journey you took with that. XVI* or XVII. Took me a bit to see it. Very nice!

Another quattrino from Benedict XIII showing St. Ubaldus standing with shepherds crook, raising right hand in benediction. It's different from the previous version I posted with the reverse legend here reading S VBALDVS EP EVGVBILL The Numista example seems to have quite a worn reverse - this one shows what's going on a bit better. https://en.numista.com/321305

nice addition @Bacc.  You can always request an edit to the listing and present your 'better' image to be displayed on it. I've done that and got my photo posted and displayed. I do notice that the stripes on the shield (obverse) is different from yours though. (slanted vs Vertical)

I seem to be very hit and miss with my photo's. Sometimes they come out fantastic - so I know the set-up can work - but at others they come out "mushy". I just use the camera on my Samsung S23 with some decent lighting. I'd like to do better with that one if I could. I'm currently re-vamping my website and improving some of the photo's there - which is taking quite a time.

A 1794 Muraiola of 2 Bolognini showing a capped bust of Pius VI on the obverse and St. Petronius, patron saint of Bologna standing on the reverse. As the denomination suggests it's from the Bologna mint.

This one is slightly more interesting. It's a 1635-36 1 Quattrino issued under Urban VIII showing Saint Michael standing on Satan, brandishing sword in right hand, holding scales in left as the reverse design. This is the second one of this reverse type I have posted under this ruler - though the previous one has the Papal heraldic achievement on the obverse and is dated slightly later. There are, naturally, some different varieties of this type with the placing of the pontifical year number.
