I can't work out the coin, though. Their 20/50 and 100 lire gold coins had a bust on the obverse and shield on the reverse ... yours looks like a bird of some kind?
And What Did You Buy Today?(Not Watches or related)

路Crowned in 1878 he faced serious problems due to profound differences in the recently unified areas of Italy. He died in 1900 (something about) an attack by the Bresci anarchist(s).

路Bought a new car. BMW 540i. Well, leased it, actually. No real pics, stole this one off of the dealer's web site.
Leftover 2019 (2020s are arriving) so hopefully I got a decent price. You never know. "We're losing money on this deal," they said. Sure.

Online I see similar designs on the silver coins from the era, but no gold like this one (many 20 lira though). I don鈥檛 know coins, it was a lucky auction win. Could you suggest a good website I could use to determine value? My goal is to sell it to help finance a watch. Thanks in advance for whatever you can provide.

路Thanks again for the info 馃憤. I picked it up today. It is dated 1891, and has L 5 on the back side. I am going to guess this means 5 Lire. I鈥檒l also guess that all Italian鈥檚 walked around with Jeweller鈥檚 loupes so they could determine what denomination of coin they got as change from Starbucks.

路The corrosion and poor strike makes me think it's a gaming piece. There's a lack of serifs and other issues. Have you got a magnet to hand? That'll tell you if it's a capped steel gaming thaler.

路definitely not gold
Lesson learned, don鈥檛 buy if you don鈥檛 know what you are doing; auctions can say just about anything and you are likely stuck with it; buying without seeing the item in person can be risky. There is a good story along these lines here: https://omegaforums.net/threads/sot...e-aka-the-stories-photos-tell-us.99581/unread

路Yup, with the 2020 models hitting showrooms a lot of dealers are trying to clear 2019 inventory. I've wanted a Subaru for 20+ years but I've been relegated to riving the wife's hand-me-downs. Don't cry for me just yet though. She has good taste and is an extremely low mileage driver, so I've had some nice vehicles over the years. Last was an Infiniti QX56. She had it for 3 years and I've been driving it for the last 7. Alas, it's long in the tooth and the engine is on it's last legs. 170,000 miles on New Jersey roads takes a toll. So now it's my time. Subaru Outback, 2019 2.5i (the most basic) in pearl white.

Nice. I'm a Subie Fan - Had a 2000 Impreza 2.5RS, then a 2004 STI, then a 2007 Tribeca, then a 2013 Tribeca for the wife while I drove a used Infiniti G35x AWD, then a 2015 Forester XT, and now I drive a 2017 WRX LTD while my son drives the Forester.

路I bought a used Jeep Wrangler impulsively... nothing all too special about it besides getting the 'standard' off-roading upgrades that can be done before it cannot safely travel on the highway. Lots of fun to drive with it all opened up and just wearing a bikini top. Makes me feel like a kid again with a new toy generally lacking practicality. Still, I think I'm gonna keep it as a secondary vehicle until it completely dies...

路Bought this bracelet. Thought it would be nice together with some of my watches... Did I manage to keep it? Not, my 17 years old son thought the same... Fits well on him...馃槖

Congrats. I love my 13 outback. Pretty much bulletproof. I had to wait until they made it for those of us who are big and tall.
