Ferrara. Alfonso I d'Este gold Scudo d'oro del Sole ND (1505-34) MS63 NGC, Fr-269, MIR-269, CNI X-14. A stunning example of this type featuring the cross on Calvary with the spear and sponge-rod. The surfaces are fully lustrous and bear no significant marks. Faint ghosting of the obverse arms into the reverse fields is noted along with minor touches of striking weakness, probably the primary reason this example could not have been awarded a higher technical grade.
Estimate: 2500-3000 USD
