Welcome to dr Luca Giambonino Ancient Coins Collection

Welcome to Collezione Numismatica Giambonino.


Here you can find Roman Imperial and Provincial coins from my private collection.
There are also some greek electrum, gold and silvers staters.
Coins are divided into types, Aureii, Quinarii, etc.
All the coins listed are authentic and ancient, bought only from professional numismatic dealers from Extra-EU countries.

The coins listed as AV Coloniales are true provincial coins in a type of debased gold.
They have been tested with the Au Test Acid, they are gold plus silver, normally. They have been submitted for study to many experts, including David R Sear, Jean Elsen and the British Museum, during 2008, some thought they were gilt, some thought they're provincial orichalchii but to my opinion they're not: in 3 years, first, they've not got patina at all, and, the electrolysis, both right and inverse, didn't ossidate them and this should be interesting, considering also the fact that they show high gold content with the Au Test Acids.
Types I have normally are unlisted variant or unpublished. 

The Collection is updated every two or three months.

Excuse me for the pictures that are not the best. You can have a look at the slide shows, AV, to see how the coins really look like with a normal digital camera. Usually I use a scanner and this is not the best at all for AV or AG coinage as you can see.

Please if you have any question get in touch with dr Luca Giambonino writing an email to: Luca Giambonino or would please write me by snail mail.


Please note, nothing is for sell here.
