I have a old coin with st. Gaspar del bvfalo on it with Roman numerals mcmliv and a image of him standing next to a table with a cup and a cross in his belt. On the back is the words Regina pretiosis simisangvinis and a image of a woman holding a child and the child is holding a cup. If anyone has any information about this coin email me at ssmith211281@yahoo.com thank you.
