Tuscany. Cosimo III Piastre 1680 AU58 NGC, Dav-4211. A bold selection that features the larger, older portrait of Cosimo III on a massive planchet that is beautifully accentuated by layers of original color. The obverse is decorated in subtle mauve hues that blend seamlessly into the graphite sheath, while the reverse presents playful tones of honeydew and turquoise at the outer registers, brightening the legends that surround. The detail throughout the raised portions is decidedly bold, with wear affecting the higher points, particularly on the reverse. In total, an outstanding piece that is presently the only certified example of this singular type, making it an ideal representative as such.
