  Let's do another shields challenge. National shields worth 3 points each, provinces and cities worth 1. Most points on a single coin wins.

Nice coin. Used to have a local Italian restaurant that would sell me a large pepperoni pizza for a silver 500 lire. Made us both happy.

Great story Arkle, the irony would be a bimetallic 500 Lire of the 1980s probably would have not even got you a slice of pizza!
And again I got them at a junk silver price - its a gift that keeps on giving.

It's been pretty quiet. We'll wrap things up tonight. If anyone wants credit for a national shield rather than city/provincial, they should mention it.
