Francis I 1/4 Teston 1544 MS64 NGC, Roberts-9573. An unheard of grade for a 16th century 1/4 Teston. Light toning with an extraordinary portrait. The surfaces are fully lustrous beneath the toning and other than a slightly uneven strike, as can be seen on virtually all examples of this early type, there are no notable flaws. An amazing example of the type, and worthy of a premium bid.
Estimate: 1000-1300 USD
