Notes:
NAC Sale 61, Lot 174. Scarce. Green patina and fine Gift of Italo Vecchi in October 1997. Italo (and his lovely wife Jenny) is another very old numismatic friend. I first bought coins from him and his brother Paul when they had a small shop near Westminster. We stayed in touch while he ran the Zurich office for NAC, and subsequently when he opened his own London business, and enjoyed several Italian visits together. (RBW Collection)
