Gladys New Member Canada 1 Posts	Posted 02/12/2012 5:53 pm We have come across this coin and have tried to identify it online but to no avail. I thought maybe someone with a little more experience can help me identify it. The coin has an elephant on one side, two gladiators on the other. The gladiator heads have the words "ANNIBALE and SCIPONE" on it. The front elephant side has the following " CONSORZIO SCIPONE AFRICANO" on it. I have attached some photos. If anyone has any information I would be most thankful! Thanks for you time Edited by Gladys 02/12/2012 6:10 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16832 Posts	Posted 02/12/2012 8:17 pm Modern, but not too modern. It was made by Fascist Italy in 1937 for the cast and crew of a propaganda film on the exploits of Scipio Africanus, the Roman consul-general who defeated Hannibal of Carthage in Africa.
