Kaz New Member United Kingdom 8 Posts	Posted 05/31/2007 1:47 pm Anyone have any idea of the value or history behind this coin? It's been in my family's collection for years, rather nice looking. http://www.wayzo.co.uk/coins/1_lira_1802.PNG Kaz Report this Post to the Staff

Venice was an independent republic up until 1797, when Napoleon's armies invaded. Shortly afterwards, for reasons which remain obscure, France handed Venice over to the Austrian Empire. They gave it back to the French in 1805, who merged it into Napoleon's Kingdom of Italy. (Edited to remove redundant duplication which was redundantly duplicated.) Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S.

It's a shame such a stunning coin is only worth $15 or £7 in my case. So would you say it's a F or VG, it is rather flat on one side. Kaz Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16830 Posts	Posted 05/31/2007 9:44 pm VG at best, IMO. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

babella New Member Croatia 1 Posts	Posted 08/13/2007 4:16 pm I have the same coin, we have found it while we were fixing roof. Our house is about 300 years old. I can't believe that the worth of this coin is just 15$. Either way I wouldn't sell it. Report this Post to the Staff
