Victor Emmanuel II.

(1/1)

Jochen:
Hi to our Italien friends!

I know this is no ancient coin, but I hope to get the solution to my problem.

I have a 20 Lira gold coin from Italy 1851. Obv. Victor Emmanuel II, legend:
Victorius Emmanuel II. Rex Sard. Cyp. et Hier., Dux Sab. Genuae et Montisf. princ. &

Hieropolis I think were islands in the Aegaean see, but what means Duke of Sab. Genuae et Montisfort. princ.?

Regards,
Jochen

Jochen:
Hi Yafet_Rasnal!

Hieropolis evidently was a misinterpretation!

Thanks,
Jochen

yafet_rasnal:
Yes yes ...the funny thing is that in 1851 there were 2 Hierusalem kings...lol
