Pistareen Valued Member United States 309 Posts	Posted 05/14/2016 12:32 pm This appears to be a three Lira from the Italian States under Joseph II. The Mint Mark "M" is Milan. This coin is similar in design to Austria-Netherlands coins. It unfortunately appears to be a copy based on look and by the addition of the small text punched into the fields of the lower reverse.

Deian New Member Romania 3 Posts	Posted 05/14/2016 1:13 pm I thought it was a real one because it's made of silver. I've been suspicious that it's a copy because those round bumps near the edge are 100% made in a factory. Thanks guys appreciate it. If anyone knows it's value as a copy email me or post here. Thanks in advance Report this Post to the Staff

Are you even sure that it is silver and not a silver-colored base metal? As a copy, it has little value. There are a few folk around CCF who buy these things for a dollar or two to keep as examples, but otherwise not much value. On the other hand, if it actually is made from Silver, then there will be the intrinsic value of that metal.

It looks like it has a silver mark. The year 1786 was the year of the publication of the civil code of Austria that stated that all citizens were equal. Report this Post to the Staff
