Is the composition of this coin billon (not silver)?


Too vague and defined at the same time. Just ask if it's billion, leave the rest out. Now the "no" answer to "(not silver)", means it is silver! The other way to look at it is, any coin not silver should be considered billion. Confused yet?.?.?.?.? . .

I'd give a bonus question, and answer trig's Q.

Duchy of Milan in 1402:


For the record, That piece of coastline controlled by Milan on the map were Lucca, Pisa and Siena. However, Milan only had control over Pisa and Siena between around 1399 and 1406. Lucca was actually an ally of Milan, not part of it.

as for the final question, "s the diameter of this coin 25mm or more?" The answer is YES. Looking forward to you all's guesses!

Well, I suppose we could still count Milan as having a coastline anyway. The Duke of Milan would periodically take control over Genoa throughout the 15th Century (Although Genoa would still mint coins on their own).

All of the eligible silver guesses are gone. So I'll guess this gold one.

That's an impressive coin you've got there Skeletonwizard8.

Bedtime for me. I've got a coin, so ask away, but I won't be responding for 8 hours or so.
