ITALY. Tuscany. Ruspone (3 Zecchini), 1748. Francis I (1748-65). NGC AU-58.
Fr-331; C-11a. Francis (1708-65) was Duke of Lorraine 1728-37; as part of the treaty ending the War of the Polish Succession he surrendered it in exchange for Tuscany, which he ruled until his death. His father-in-law, Emperor Charles VI, died in 1740 and, after a five year war led by Frederick the Great, Francis was crowned Holy Roman Emperor in 1745. His wife, Maria Theresia, did the actual ruling. A rather presentable example of this scarce type that depicts John the Baptist sitting on a rock on one side and a lis on the other. NGC AU-58.
Estimate: $1500.00- $2000.00
