What is a Cavino overstrike?  I'm not finding anything specific in a search for that name.

How would you tell if it is a Cavino overstrike?

It was given to my parents on their wedding day in 1949 - if a date helps at all.

Thanks . . .

With that clue - I found this description and information on http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/ric/galba/t.html :

Galba Paduan type AE "Sestertius". 1500-1570 AD. IMP SER SVLP GALBA CAES AVG TR POT, laureate draped bust right / S-C, emperor on platform standing left, before five soldiers, ADLOCVT in ex. Klawans 3.

Galba, AE ''sestertius'' struck from dies by Giovanni Cavino,      1500-1570, (20.18g) apparently overstruck over a genuine Roman  sestertius, as were many of his ''medals''. IMP SER SVLP GALBA CAES AVG TR POT Laureate and draped bust right. / Emperor on  platform standing left, before five soldiers, S C at sides,      ADLOCVT in exergue. Kwalans 3/ 4 (These dies).

Does this seem to match as well as I think it does??

Thank you!

Hello - new to the group. Wondering if anyone knows what this coin is. We have been trying to figure it out for years and no coin shop has ever been able to tell us. Thank you in advance.
