Italy
Papal States. Gregory XVI 50 Baiocchi 1832//II-R MS64 NGC, Rome mint, KM1316. An extremely impressive example of the type, with a deep cabinet tone and underlying hints of cobalt and burgundy. The facial detail of the pope is highly expressive, and the reverse scene features St. Romuald kneeling right, holding a crucifix; to his right, a skull rests upon rocks.
