turtleoverhead Pillar of the Community Australia 585 Posts	Posted 06/16/2012 09:36 am Thank you DCH. Someone told me the counter stamp is from St Martin island. I was more curious about the host coin. Good job. Report this Post to the Staff

turtleoverhead Pillar of the Community Australia 585 Posts	Posted 06/16/2012 6:24 pm bart -- an interesting article, thanks for the link. What does it mean for this coin? Is the counter stamp a fake? Report this Post to the Staff
bart Pillar of the Community Belgium 651 Posts	Posted 06/17/2012 02:59 am It means probably that the counterstamp was illegally placed by a non-royal mint. As the host coin is Italian, this could have been done in Avignon (papal city) or Orange (capital of the principality of Orange). Report this Post to the Staff
