Sap Moderator Australia 16806 Posts	Posted 07/01/2007 11:51 pm There's nothing listed in Krause regarding off-metal strikes or gold patterns of these coins. It's most likely just been privately plated, for whatever reason. Check the weight, if you can; it should weigh 11.31 grams; a solid gold coin the same size as a florin should be much heavier than that. 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
