Description: Venice, Francesco Molin, silver osella 1651, Turkish ships burned by giant mirror which reflects the rays of the sun. Such a weapon was suggested in antiquity by Archemides, but the execution showed on this coin is fanciful and hence symbolic. Whether it could have been practically achieved using the technology of antiquity remains a matter of scholarly and popular debate. VF, ex-jewellery, skilfully repaired. Very rare. Paolucci 134
