Spence Moderator United States 34428 Posts	Posted 06/11/2016 3:57 pm Sorry; I couldn't resist that subject line as I was posting this trifollaro of the Italian City State of Sicily. It was minted between 1166 and 1187 AD in Messina and the attribution is Biaggi 1231. Obv design is a 3/4 lion head and the rev design is a palm tree with...count 'em...10 dates.
