In a large bowl whisk the eggs and yolks with the sugar. Add the butter and continue

to whisk well until the sugar dissolves. In a small bowl pour the brandy, the orange

juice and rind, and mix them well. In another bowl put the egg whites to medium peaks

and set aside. Gradually add the flour, the brandy, the juice and the egg whites to the

mixture. Wash the coin and wrap it in aluminum foil. Put it in the mixture. Grease a

round baking pan and spread some flour in it. Pour the mixture and bake in a medium
