A Pair Of Late Medieval Italians

I just thought I would break the string of ancient posts

I had been on the lookout for a nice coin with this iconography of St. Paul holding a sword (related to his pre-Christian vocation) and book, and succeeded with a bid on this undated giulio from the Papal States, reign of Pope Paul IV 1555-58, reverse shown first. Something is odd about how the coin was struck. The lower part of the obverse looks like it was double struck with the second strike rotated clockwise a bit, so that the second S is PAVLVS shows twice, and the lower part of the Papal shield is rotated so that it obscures the P in PONT MAX. Doesn;t make sense to me how this could happen, but this is what I see



Next, this undated grosso of the Republic of Florence that can be dated to 1482 from the mintmaster's mark at about 11:00 reverse. MIR 62/42. I like that this coin has the same devices as the more famous gold florin: the ornate lily obverse, and St John the Baptist reverse (I wish the condition were a bit better). @spence has helped me with a list of mintmaster's marks for these types, so I can work on some missing 15th century dates in my OFEY series.
