Grandpa's coin

[Guest Thomas Roaf]

I have found in a coin in a collection of items given to me.

The coin is made of what appears to be solid silver and has markings on both sides.

The first side has a picture of a king with a short bearf. To the right of his head is a small eagle and to the left is what appears to be three feathers perhaps osterich, similar to prince charles' emblem. The inscription round the outside of this side reads, "ANIVERSITATIS STADI FLORENTINI PATRONAS MCCCXXI-MCMXXXII"

The second side has a picture of a man. His form is similar to that of the religious image of one of the three wise men. ie Long robe takk hat, perhaps an image of a pope? Two his left is a small vertical cross and to his right is a small face. His feet touch the base of the coin. The inscription this side reads "SALOMON REX SAPIENTISSIMUS".

Any information on the coin, even to tell it is a fake or if it is real would be useful
