Quote: Undated 1424, 2d semester Florence grosso guelfo, mintmaster Giovanni Capponi (check out the capon near Saint John's right hand!) Very cute reference. Is this a new addition @tdz? Was it in the 7th edition? Another funky St John

Quote: Is this a new addition @tdz? I landed it in an auction in May 2024, but did not play it in the 7th, probably because of the usual 45 day delay in clearing the Italian export authorities. Quote: Another funky St John  Unlike the gold florin where he is always standing, on the grosso he stands from 1296 to 1347, then sits for the next 100 years, then stands again. I like the seated types though the pseudo-throne seems out of character for this guy who wore camel hair vestments and foraged his food..
