It seems Gregory was engaged in "dueling alphabet" with Henry III, the incumbent French king, whose analagous coin looked like this:

That's really interesting - definitely aligned designs. Maybe to make them more acceptable or even understandable by the local populace?


That makes sense. French coins didn't bear a denomination, so the populace only knew the value of the coin by size and design.

And, that's a great teston. Congrats!

I'll go again :)

A ND (1744) Quattrino of Benedict XIV. The lettering on this coin seems very parsimonious compared to others.

I hadn't posted this one before - a rather modest coin.

A Benedict XIV 1756 2 Giuli. The reverse shows the personification of the Holy Mother church seated on clouds holding a set of keys, church building in the background which must be one of the most used reverses in all the Papal states series.

I hadn't posted this one before.

Pius VI 1778 1 Carlin (or 5 Baiocco) from the Bologna mint - and indeed it uses that city's coat of arms. The reverse shows a lily.

This coin is different enough from the Numista example that I think it should have it's own entry number (https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pi...376658.html)
Unless my search has missed it. The shield type is quite a separate variety.

A recent pickup
