    First I've seen or heard of it but it appears to be a legitimate 'fantasy' issue set. I doubt demand justifies such a high price, though.

    Interesting! Never heard of the Royal House of Tessaglia (Thessaly) before. I wonder where they're located?

    I have never heard of such a thing before. I guess it is summed up right that price reflects scarcity not demand.
    So many coins, so little money!

    The writing on the case is Italian, but I've never heard of Thessaly before, either.

    Most odd. I've never heard of it before -- and why would an Italian state use Francs & Centimes? Maybe the guy really is descended from one of the petty crusaders who trashed the Byzantines for their own enrichment. It sounds, though, like a fantasy issue to me.

    How much do you think your local dealer would offer you for the set?
