Venice. Ludovico Manin 1/2 Ducato of 62 Soldi ND (1789)-GF MS66 NGC Venice mint, Giacomo Foscarini as mintmaster, KM744, Paolucci-29. A type not often encountered, it is nearly unheard-of to encounter it in the condition of the present offering. Very light doubling is noted, but overall it is quite lustrous, with pleasing light gray toning throughout. Quite pleasing in hand.
