Agreed. Hey, why not get the 5L to go with that piece? I got the 1911 5L with what look to be Roman lovers from Heritage auction a couple of years ago and wow! Beautiful!

Actually, even the minors are fabulous with naturalistic elements such as bees or the 20 cent. with flying goddess...

I totally agree. Some of the designs are true works of art.

For artistic merit, no collection is complete without some examples

The Italian and French have some beautiful coins--but let us not forget------Miss Vicky coins.

Those are indeed beautiful designs that rarely get posted on this forum. Very nice.

I love Italian coins from this period!

This one is not mine but I do collect this series. I am only one shy of finishing it, in fact. I just need 1911...
