I was able to find this 1575 Pope Gregory XIII to add to the set and wanted
to share if anyone is interested in these pieces.
This one looks to be a restrike, but has some unusual characteristics around the
edge that almost give it an original look.
I will post it along with an original piece in copper and a third piece very rarely found
in silver.
The original copper is dated 1575 with Roman numerals ( MDLXXV ) on the obverse while the 2 restrikes
are dated 1575 and 1572 respectively.

Some coins are just plain "Interesting"
