Another quattrino from Bologna - this time dated 1726. This particular date seemed to have added in some ornamentation in the form of a "leaf frieze" below the date.  |

Another quattrino - this time from the Ferrara mint. Benedict XIV 1748, Quattrino. As expected there many varieties of this coin. Some have the reverse in a cartouche and some have the lettering within scroll work - most varieties have the letters AE dividing the date.while this one does not and the framing seems to be branches/leaves. .

Moving house over the last week (blech!). That 4 soldi is great (not to mention an odd denomination). For the Ferrara quattrino, I posted up my 1746 back on p.7, but it turns out I also have a 1745:   As you pointed out, the normal cadence for the reverse inscription has the date divided by the AE.

That's a great example - and it uses the scroll work surround on the reverse, rather than the foliage of the one above.

Another add 1796, 2½ Baiocchi ("Sampietrino") from the mint of Civitavecchia - Pius VI. This was issued as the Papal States fortified their main port against the threat of Napoleon's Italian campaign. With silver supplies disrupted, provincial mints were ordered to maintain circulation of essential small coinage, making this 2½ baiocchi part of the emergency monetary output of the year.

Minted at almost the end of the Papal States was this 1865 20 Baiocchi  It's very similar to this 1865 20 Baiocchi I posted earlier - but there is a difference.  |
