The article presents a study of a gold florin, with an unlisted privy mark, preserved in the collection of the Museo Arqueológico Nacional de Madrid. Anomalous characteristics of this coin, especially consideration of style, and other details raise suspicions that it was not issued in the mint of Florence and that it may be a deceptive imitation struck after the middle of the 14th century, together with other pieces that show identical features and different privy marks.

Abstract

The article presents a study of a gold florin, with an unlisted privy mark, preserved in the collection of the Museo Arqueológico Nacional de Madrid. Anomalous characteristics of this coin, especially consideration of style, and other details raise suspicions that it was not issued in the mint of Florence and that it may be a deceptive imitation struck after the middle of the 14th century, together with other pieces that show identical features and different privy marks.
