Milan. Maria Theresia of Austria Filippo 1749 MS63 NGC, Milan mint, KM164, Dav-1384, MIR-419/5 (RRR), Crippa-2/D. A beautifully preserved example of this always crudely struck issue. Luster remains glowing beneath superb original tone and draws the eye to the bold central details which are fairly evenly applied despite angular fields resulting from poor planchet production. Currently, this is the only example of this very rare type certified by either NGC or PCGS.
