Half Pillar of the Community United States 601 Posts	Posted 07/19/2018 07:42 am I picked this bad boy up recently on a whim as I have never seen something like this before. lol I have not done more than a basic wiki lookup on the history but I find it interesting nonetheless. He ruled from 1258-1266 He was even mentioned in the divine Comedy. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 33017 Posts	Posted 07/19/2018 8:59 pm @half, I agree with the information you posted and would attribute this denaro as Biaggi #1276. The inscription on the obv reads + MAYNFRID and the inscription on the rev reads + REX.SICILIE. Your coin started out round, but unfortunately has been clipped over the years. Here is another example of this coin--you see that alas mine has suffered the same indignity.

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21639 Posts	Posted 07/19/2018 9:44 pm Bronze from this medieval period in European history is reasonably scarce. That is one reason why it attracts my interest. Sicilian bronze most commonly found in this period. I will be visiting Sicily in early October for a week or do, with an interest in the remains of ancient Greek culture. I may buy souvenir tourist copy coins, but they will have to be cheap. Genuine coins bring over inflated prices and I won't be buying those anyway, because I think that it may be illegal to buy them. Best to get those from Vcoins, public auctions or Baldwins in London.
