KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 10/23/2008 11:04 pm Here's a coin I located yesterday at a dealer. Its diameter is approx. 19.5mm and weighs 3.27gr. At first take, I thought this was an average Austro-Hungarian coin, until I saw the Italian inscription, as well as reeding on the edge. So far, I've been able to determine this was coined during the Austrian occupation of these Italian states, and it appears somewhat scarce. If you have any more information, I'd enjoy some details. The coin is in a nice grade, but there's an unfortunate tool mark through the crown. Edited by KurtS 10/24/2008 10:21 pm Report this Post to the Staff

ElleKitty Pillar of the Community United States 819 Posts	Posted 10/24/2008 12:14 am Mkay. From my SCWC, Deluxe ANA Centennial Edition, this coin is a 1 Soldo piece of Lombardi-Veneto beneath the Austrian Administration. Minted of copper, it has mintmark A for Vienna. (Also available in the set are B for Kremnitz and V for Venice.) It gives a C# (instead of a KM#) 35.1, date 1862, mintage of 22.275, and well, my values are at least 20 years out of date. Lombardy-Venetia Comprised the norther Italian duchies of Milan and Mantua and the Venetian Republic which were absorbed by the Kingdom of Napoleon in 1805. After Napoleon's fall they were awarded to Austria and incorporated in the Hapsburg monarchy as the Kingdom of Lombardy-Venetia. The Lombard campaign of 1859 restored rule under the Kingdom of Italy for Lombard in 1859 and Venetia in 1866. Report this Post to the Staff
KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 10/24/2008 12:35 am Thanks again for all the interesting history. A mintage of 22,275? What a shock...that's quite low. Guess I'll hold on to that one, even with the mark. Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16817 Posts	Posted 10/24/2008 02:36 am Sorry, KurtS, but "22.275" means 22 million. My 4th edition 1800's Krause lists it at $4.50 in VF, $9 in EF. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 10/24/2008 04:00 am Sap, that's actually reassuring. I feel better it's not a low-mintage coin with that damage--thanks! Edited by KurtS 10/24/2008 04:02 am Report this Post to the Staff
