ndgoflo Pillar of the Community United States 626 Posts	Posted 03/29/2005 7:32 pm Hi all, , just a little show and tell, 'cept all I can tell you is that this coin is from the Kingdom of Naples and it now has the dubious honor of being the oldest (that I have identified) coin in my collection. Can anyone shed any light on the history of this coin? Report this Post to the Staff

ndgoflo Pillar of the Community United States 626 Posts	Posted 03/29/2005 8:31 pm I guess I do know a LITTLE bit about it.

The initials may be the name of the assayer or the last names of two assayers. I had a similar problem with Un Sols of Peru. Many of them have assayers initials but no info about their names in the Catalog. This darkside stuff is getting contagious. Report this Post to the Staff
