Sardinia. Carlo Alberto gold 100 Lire 1836 (Anchor)-P AU53 PCGS, Genoa mint, KM133.2. With a very low mintage of just 703 pieces, this key date-mintmark combination comes highly coveted, having considerably more to its credit that just its heft and metallic content. The present example displays an even distribution of contact marks commensurate with its size and grade, while overall wear remains minimal and mostly confined to the high points. The reverse design remains especially brilliant, with the fields continuing to be lustrous. For its part, the date is somewhat weakly struck, though this is a generally minor quibble with an otherwise great coin. AGW 9331 oz.
