Benedict XIV - 1/2 Baiocco (1750)

A Jubilee&-year issue from the Ferrara mint featuring the Holy Door, symbol of indulgence and spiritual renewal. The radiant triangle represents the Trinity.

This example apparently doesn't align with any of the variants listed on Numista. The Oval Lambertini arms are bowed to the left - however the lettering is definitely BEN. XIV M. A. IVB. CI#42203;#1632;I#42203;#1632;C.C.L.

One to investigate further

good addition Bacc.

The last coin posted was a Benedict XIV - 1/2 Baiocco (1750) Jubilee year coin from the Ferrara mint and has the catalogue number of Muntoni 580 Var. II It would probably be tricky to get all these variants catalogued on Numista.

Todays add is the same coin but from the Rome mint showing the Holy Door open — a symbol of grace during the Holy Year - on the reverse. This coin has three obverse regnal year varieties, X, XI and XII suggesting that it was minted for longer than just one year. It was probably popular with pilgrims This one is Muntoni 205.

nice bit of history on this one Bacc - thanks for posting it.

I have a small run of the same type but different varieties. This is a Benedict XIV - 1 Quattrino (ND, 1744). The number of varieties of this coin aren't as many as the Quattrino for the Raverna mint where there are over 120, but there seems to be about a couple of dozen at least.
Most of the varieties of this type are based around the lettering. On this example it is the IIII rather than IV that is the main marker.

This example is
Obverse: BENED#1632; XIIII#1632;P#1632;M — Papal heraldic achievement
Reverse: S#1632;VBALDVS EP#1632;EVGVBI — St Ubaldus standing




The previous example I posted a good few pages back (page 28) had the quite different lettering
Obverse: BEN. XIV. — Papal heraldic achievement
Reverse: .EP. S. VBAL — St Ubaldus standing with crozier

and also different from the one tdziemia posted back on page 36.

Nice addition.

This is another variety, this time with the legends:

Benedict XIV - 1 Quattrino
Obverse: BENE. XIV.;P — Papal heraldic achievement
Reverse: S.UBALDV E P.EVGV — St Ubaldus standing with the legend starting at 1 o'clock.

nice one Bacc - is that a copper coin?
