Venice. Francesco Morosini gold Zecchino ND (1688-94) MS64 NGC, Fr-1347, Paolucci-4. Obv. Popular gold coinage featuring a kneeling Doge before St. Mark and the image of Christ surrounded by stars. The flan exhibits a tremendous amount of mint bloom and the strike is undeniably bold for the type. Absolutely satisfying, and worthy of a bid that surpasses our estimate.
