Roma2021 Pillar of the Community Italy 1136 Posts	Posted 07/07/2022 06:14 am I picked this commemorative round up at spot. It's 1.10 ounces ... Exactly a Troy ounce and is about 39 mm in diameter. It states '.999 fine silver' on the edge. I have found the coin listed for sale but it says the weight and purity on the face. Any thoughts? Report this Post to the Staff
