tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7933 Posts	Posted 05/10/2026 5:03 pm Quote: This one shows S. P. APOSTOLOR PRINCEPS on the "reverse" I was wondering if the engraver was a bit challenged since the O on MEZZO also seems to be missing. As for obverse and reverse, the Numista convention is to cite as the obverse the side which identifies the issuer. Nothing on the St. Peter side refers to the issuer, but citing Fermo on the other side does. Report this Post to the Staff

It is there - though only the faintest outline. I suspect a clogged die. Quote: As for obverse and reverse, the Numista convention is to cite as the obverse the side which identifies the issuer Yes I was always of the belief that the issuing authority was the "obverse". It's kinda unusual to have a person's image on the reverse and a few lines of text only on the obverse so it looks "wrong" to my sensibilities. I will fix this on my website however.

Bacchus2 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2868 Posts	Posted 05/12/2026 12:01 pm A Benedict XIV - 1 Baiocco (1740-1758) undated, Rome mint. I'm not sure of the Muntoni number for this coin - but it is Numista 119530.

Bacchus2 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2868 Posts	Posted 05/15/2026 02:32 am A Benedict XIV - 1 Quattrino (1755) from Bologna. This smallest denomination coin from Bologna didn't change for about a 150 year period and the same exact design was issued under many different Popes..

Bacchus2 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2868 Posts	Posted 05/17/2026 03:36 am And another one from a few years earlier. I think it would be quite challenging to obtain one from every year this type was minted - somewhere around 150. I only have 8 so far.
