DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 03/20/2014 3:14 pm Quote: The smallest Belgian coin for 1869. One Centime (copper, 2g). Very nice condition! Gwyde, do you know why copper coins minted by Belgium had milled edges? This is more common for silver coins than copper. Edited by DVCollector 03/20/2014 3:15 pm Report this Post to the Staff

This is more common for silver coins than copper. Milled edges on Belgian coppers are only on pre-WW-I coinage. Perhaps because they were claimed to be worth their weight in copper. On the 1 and 2 centimes, the milling was very light and wore off quickly. On the 5 and 10 centimes (before 1860) it was more prominent. As for silver, the crown sized 5 francs had an edge writing (as elsewhere in Europe) while smaller denominations had a milled edge. Report this Post to the Staff

Gwyde Pillar of the Community Belgium 506 Posts	Posted 03/21/2014 03:53 am We write 1868 today and this definitely is a different world we're in now. Going back, states have vanished, while others have emerged. One of those are the Papal States (Stato Pontificio), which was ruled by the Pope: a remnant of the Feudal era, when religious authority and civil and military power were intertwined. 10 Soldi of the Papal States: The 'Soldi' (sing. soldo) was an old Italian currency unit. This '10 soldi' is a silver coin with size of a dime. It was equivalent to 50 Centesimi of a Lira. Though going back to the mid 19th century, the word 'soldi' carries on in italian language. If you're short of cash: "Non abbiamo più soldi". If someone earns a more than decent wage: "Gana un sacco di soldi". Edited by Gwyde 03/21/2014 04:00 am Report this Post to the Staff
