Papal States. Gregory XVI Scudo 1831-B Anno I MS66 NGC, Bologna mint, KM1315.1. Visually superb, with a sublime blend of lavender and azure highlights that produce a vibrant backdrop for the bust of Pope Gregory XVI and the illustrated adoration of Christ. Between the iridescent accents, soaring rims, and reflective properties, this offering easily entertains the eye during prolonged study. A coin that was obviously cherished by its previous owners, with nothing greater than a scattered tick or light wisps to note. Presently the finest-certified example in this date/mint combination, marking this as the perfect opportunity for the collector who places equal value on eye-appeal as he does technical quality.
