tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7955 Posts	Posted 03/04/2019 5:50 pm Sorry nobody else could help, but glad you succeeded! I would add this seems to be a really obscure place from a numismatic viewpoint... Edited by tdziemia 03/04/2019 6:38 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34426 Posts	Posted 03/04/2019 9:29 pm Wow, well done @wallet! That would be a Biaggi #829. However, this Follaro should weigh about 2.6 g whereas a Follaro from Guglielmo I or Guglielmo II has a similar design, but weighs 4.5 g. That would be Biaggi #831. I guess I'm not 100% sure which you have, but here are some potentially useful links: https://auction.catawiki.com/kavels...0-21-mir-452 https://www.deamoneta.com/auctions/view/20/137 https://www.ma-shops.com/stollhoff/...2231&lang=en "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff
Wallet Valued Member Sweden 449 Posts	Posted 03/05/2019 01:37 am @Spence. My coin is more like the once in MEC 14, 57-59. Probably 57 as it fits the weigth best. 4.07 compare to 4.20. I don't have the Biaggi book, only MEC 14. See Pictures. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34426 Posts	Posted 03/05/2019 04:26 am Ok yes I think that you are right on this--both the design and weight match up. Nice job!
