Livorno. Cosimo III Tallero 1717 MS64 NGC, KM35 (Listed under Livorno), Dav-1500. This massive selection displays absolutely choice, gunmetal patina along with an exciting amount of iridescent amber that encircles the portrait of the Grand Duke and completely envelopes the Fortress of Livorno motif. Upon closer inspection, the crispness of the design elements is even more apparent, with only a bit of softness noted upon Cosimo's facial features. A truly ideal representative of this short-lived type that has been extremely well-preserved over the last few centuries.
