f3lix88 New Member South Africa 1 Posts	Posted 04/06/2021 04:40 am I was recently going through my Grans things and found these coins that were made into cufflings. After hours of research I still have no idea what to make of them , any info would be greatly appreciated. The S of South Carolina is backwards on the coin and I still have no idea what Luca Giordano has to do with South Carolina. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5668 Posts	Posted 04/06/2021 10:16 am South Carolina was first settled by the British in 1670, so I guess that part is accurate. But I'm not sure how Luca Giordano fits in the picture... Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34407 Posts	Posted 04/12/2021 6:20 pm @f3l, on your second pic, there seems to be an out-of-focus element near the center of the coin. Can you please provide a little more detail about what you have there? Thx.

JadeDragon Valued Member Canada 54 Posts	Posted 04/24/2021 1:03 pm No connection to the painter. He was not even active in 1670 (at least not notable). Perhaps the person who made these cufflinks just stuck together a messed up South Carolina medal (complete with the backward S) as a backing for the painter's image made of the same material by the same people. Why would anyone want to decorate the invisible part of a cufflink anyway? Report this Post to the Staff
