Sicily. Ferdinando III Oncia (30 Tari) 1793 Nd-OV MS62 NGC, Palermo mint, KM227, Dav-1422, Spahr-3, MIR-598. Nicola d'Orgemont Vigevi as mintmaster. Obv. Armored bust of Ferdinando right with value below. Rev. Phoenix rising from the flames with date below. Highly collected not only because of the extreme broadness of the issue, but also due to the depiction of the mythological Phoenix rising out of flames in the reverse centers. An exceptional example. Well struck with gray and brown toning. Light rubbing is noted on the high points.
