I put this on the
fake forum but
had trouble with pictures hopefull now
corrected, I picked this up as
part of a group of coins from an old
French collection and was not able to view in hand until know.Questions have been raised is this and others genuine,the old ticket appears to be written in the
style of a Victorian hand as I am familiar this
type of script and paper in other areas I collect.This suggests if not ancient then the copy is at least 150 years old and possibly older but not a
Paduan by the tru definition of the word.Any
help appreciated I will poost the others as I go.
The wing in
victory does look a little odd in this one
