CoinBook New Member Canada 5 Posts	Posted 03/31/2021 09:14 am Yes, the gold Augustale is special it is a 20.5K gold coin struck (1231), in Sicily, by Frederick II (Holy Roman Emperor). It was highly considered as the Byzantine solidus and Islamic gold Dinar coins. The gold was obtained from Mali in the trans-Sahara trade. The Augustale, for a short period, became a major European trade coin. It was eclipsed, in 1252, by the purer 24K Florentine and Genoese coins (with flatter images). More than that it is designed to look like a high relief Roman Imperial coin while at this time coins before and after the Augustale had relatively flat religious symbols. The coin is expensive but we have to recognize its place in monetary history. Image is from my book Empires & Money ISBN 978 1 896713 02 1 Paul Report this Post to the Staff
