Papal States. George XVI Scudo 1831-R Anno I MS66 NGC, Rome mint, KM1315.1. Featuring a broad, mauve-gray planchet that hosts the precisely struck portrait of Pope Gregory XVI and a reverse that shows the adoration of Christ. Substantial luster underlies the tone, and the intricately styled designs easily delight the studious eye. An offering that easily qualifies for type representation, and at present time, is the finest certified example of this date/mint combination.
