[QUOTE="afantiques, post: 26352, member: 25"]That line round the rim indicates it is a modernish cast copy, probably from a plaster cast of an original Paduan. The Renaissance examples would have dies cut by the craftsmen and been struck in the same way other coins and medals were. The surface texture is indicative of casting, but the line round the rim confirms it. No value, sorry. I have one similar, a cast copy, in the shed. I am pretty sure all coin dealers have one or two knocking about somewhere.[/QUOTE]
