Coin Picture
Posted in Garden Antiques on 07/30/2010 10:06 am by adminWhat type of piece it is and about how much is it?
It is a silver coin in rectangular shape with a table the Mona Lisa on One Side with the words of La Gioconda, Leonardo DaVinci and the other side with Opera Saeculis Maxima in a sort of crown thing with an IC (for Italcambio) stamped in a corner and the word money in the other. It said the case "Italcambio Inc. North Miami, FL PH. 891 - 2550 Fair strange, any help would be appreciated.
This is not a coin. The coins are issued by governments and monetary value. It was produced by a private mint for a company with the phone number of the company. Normally, this would be called a bar art Silver, who has the finesse of money on the bar and weight (usually a troy ounce, but they do come in different sizes). These bars are always a value of the silver content, and many have additional value to collectors based on who has been the subject, and rarity. It probably not the weight, fineness or the name of the mint or tester, which reflect the quality of money, something very important. It is essentially a single piece of advertising. Without knowing the weight and fineness of money, value for money can not be declared.
