Naples. Charles V gold 2 Scudi d'oro ND (1519-56)-B MS63 NGC, Fr-831. A gorgeous piece, and the highest graded example that we have seen ever appear at auction. There is a little unevenness to the strike, with some flatness noted at the top of the bust of Charles V, corresponding to the torso of Pax on the reverse. In addition, for the sake of thoroughness, it should be noted that there is a small scratch on the reverse at 11:00. Some scattered die rust, but overall and otherwise attractive, with pleasant natural red toning.
Estimate: 6000-8000 USD
