thank you very much, felt something was of with the XVI and it looked strange. reputable auctionhouse not specialised in coins....' to bad Giovanni da Cavino didnt sign? I actually find his work VERY nice from the minutes I have spent digging in!
interesting that ppl collected reproductions back then. found some examples and they sure look like the one posted. But this one might even be a cast of a copy
