Hi palves,
I have the
MIR (Varesi) Genoa volume. I wanted to look in it yesterday, but I didn't have time. Today, I some some time to look into this
mater more thoroughly.
According to Varesi, there are 4 different varieties of this Quartaro issue.
I have
MIR 22 (
CNI 4/8). This is a common
type. The
obverse reads "IANVA". The
reverse reads "CVNRADVS
REX".
Griffin right.
There are 3 other
types:
MIR 23 (
CNI 9/24). This is
scarce (NC). The
obverse reads "QVARTARO". The
reverse reads "CVNRADVS".
Griffin right.
MIR 24 (
CNI 25/26). This is
scarce (NC). It has the same legends as
MIR 23, but the
griffin faces left, not right.
MIR 25 (
CNI 27/32). This is
Rare (R1). The
obverse reads "QVARTARO". The
reverse reads "TOMAINVS".
Griffin right.
Varesi added:
"Nota ai Quartari: secondo gli studi di Enrico Janin pubblicati da "La Numismatica" del Marzo 1983, a cui rimando
per maggiori ragguagli, i Quartari
col Castello sarebbero stati coniati
tra la
meta del
XII Secolo e la
meta del XIII Secolo (secondo il
CNI verso la
fine del XIII Secolo), mentre i Quartari
col Grifone
tra il 1222 ed il 1339 (sul
CNI e indicato, genericamente, prima del 1339)."
