SWITZERLAND. Mesocco (Misox). Scudo d'Oro del Sole (Sonnenkronen), ND. Marquis Gian Giacomo di Trivulsio (1487-1518). NGC AU-55.
Fr-328; HMZ-549. Finely beaded circle encloses a shield bearing three crosses, flanking are twin I's, each with three tiny crescents, legend: "CRISTVS VINCIT", (Christ Conquers); Reverse: Cross fleury in double circle, "CRISTVS IMPERAT", (Christ Commands). Gian Giacomo received the coinage right from Emperor Friedrich III in 1487; after 1549 the Trivulsio lost their Swiss connections. A legendary survivor of the period, wonderfully executed for an issue of the late Medieval period, with a simplistic yet attractive design that has been boldly placed and well centered on the flan. EXTREMELY RARE with only two examples in archived auction records dating back to 2002. NGC AU-55.
Ex: Leu Numismatik auction, October 2002, Lot #1497.
Estimate: $25000.00- $30000.00
