Soldo di Candia

[malef13]

Buona sera a tutti,

Io sonno Gianni, il collezionista di 18 anni di Grecia. Sto provando il mio Italiano ma non va bene. Quindi parlerò in Englese fino a quando il mio Italiano sarà migliore.

I want to share with all of you the coin of my collection that makes me extremely happy. It is a 1 soldo di Regno di Candia. I think it is extremely hard to find soldo of Candia, when it is easier for other coins of Dalmatia or Morea. It has some green spots but with the right way they will be gone It is also the N.C. initially of Nicolo Contarini and I think that is harder to find than P.M. and F.R. Hope you like it! What condition do you think it is and because here in Greece value of coins is not clear what do you think is the value of the coin? For me I think that is a Very Good Details-Enviromental damage coin what do you think?

 

Mille gracie,

Gianni

Thanks Malef for posting it.
It is a very rare currency (R2 in Italy) and difficult to find in good condition.
Your currency, unfortunately, has come to us in "lived" conditions ... it has been used a lot. The green spots can be removed by leaving the coin for some time in demineralized water and brush it with a soft bristle toothbrush.
The value of your currency in Italy would be around €. 70/90, but I have to check the initials B C, I have only one evidence with the initials P M (Piero Molin).
We are updating tomorrow.

Greetings
Luciano

Grazie Malef per averla postata.
E' una moneta molto rara (R2 in Italia) e difficile da trovare in buone condizioni.
La tua moneta, sfortunatamente è arrivata a noi in condizioni "vissute" ... è stata usata molto. Le macchie verdi puoi toglierle lasciando la moneta per un po' di tempo in acqua demineralizzata e spazzolarla con uno spazzolino da denti con le setole morbide.
Il valore della tua moneta, in Italia, sarebbe di circa €. 70/90, devo però controllare le iniziali B C, io ho solo una evidenza con le iniziali P M (Piero Molin).
Domani ci aggiorniamo.

Saluti
Luciano

Mille gracie Luciano,

Thank you a lot for your information. The green spots will be removed with different method. The initials I think they are N C. Really useful the whole text written both in English and Italian. Defenetly will help me more. 

Personally, I think that 1 soldo of Candia are extremely difficult coins. Question how many of you have them and how many of those coins you have saw? I don't want with my question to be agressive, but my archive is really low in numbers when it comes to 1 soldo of Crete. It might be just a wrong thinking by myself :/ This why I wanted to share it and have a discussion on them.

P.S.: I am extremely sorry for the use of English language but I try to learn Italian through a book of style "method of learning Italian without teacher", but I use my English to be as accurate as possible.

 

Mille gracie,

Gianni

I agree with our new friend Gianni. The soldi for Candia are very very rare, and I think that they can reach a much higher value than that proposed by Luciano.

In my long life, I've seen two or three of them

As for the green spots, I would not be so scared, they seem not to present any form of "dust", so my suggestion is only to keep them in observation. If you remove them, the risk is that you can compromise the metal underneath.

Thnx Luigi for your suggestion. I here any friend with long archive in soldo di Candia coins?

[gigetto13]

sorry, I don't have the soldo neither an archive.

Ciao Gianni è un piacere leggerti sul nostro forum.

Hi Gianni it's a pleasure to see in our forum.

Il mio soldo per Candia è il primo della discussione. E' una moneta veramente difficile da trovare allo stesso livello del soldo per Corfù.

My Candia soldo it's a first on a post. It's very difficult to find, same the Corfù soldo.

Best regards
