ITALY. Livorno. Tollero, 1698. Cosimo III Medici (1670-1723). NGC VF-20.
Dav-4215; KM-16.4. Cosimo III de' Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany, reigned for 53 years and pretty much ran Tuscany into the ground during the long course of his tenure. Tuscany would never recover as an international banking and trade center after his rule. The Tollero offered here is suggestive of that decline, with the reverse harbor scene bearing little resemblance to the contemporary Swiss Talers that so exquisitely mastered this numismatic technique. Pleasant overall look for the grade with fully original surfaces. Light to medium tone accentuates the devices. NGC VF-20.
Estimate: $200.00- $300.00
