ITALY. Naples & Sicily. 12 Carlini (Piastra), 1810. NGC AU-55.
KM-250; Mont-420; Gig-2b. Adjustment marks present on the reverse, and some weakness to the strike. Even color with dusty rose-gray tone. Stack's 2009 Ludovico Sale saw a choice AU realize $13,000 at auction. The opening bid on this specimen is set considerably lower. Granted this example isn't quite as nice, but the issue is one of the most sought after world crowns. This lot presents a unique opportunity to add an example for what might be an attractive bid. NGC AU-55.
Estimate: $850.00- $1300.00
