This one is a little worn and battered - but it all adds to the life it had. A Innocent XI 1686 half Grosso. I posted the 1685 version quite a while ago - but they are quite different types in that it has the reverse text within a wreath while this coin has the same reverse text within cartouche.

Another add of a Pius IX 4 Soldi. This is quite a nice set to aim for. There are only 7 date / regnal year combinations and they are large impressive looking coins - and they are all fairly common too. 3 more to go!

Another somewhat worn quattrino from Bologna added. although nominally issued under the rulership of Benedict XIV - the design is one purely of Bologna's making

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. .
