Venice. Alvise Mocenigo IV silver Osella 1773-GP Anno XI MS65 PCGS, Paolucci II, 256, Gamberini-1755. Sublimely detailed and exceptionally toned, we are proud to present this offering as one that does not simply beat the other examples we have encountered, but quite frankly, exists in a league of its own that is leaps and bounds above what one could reasonably expect for the issue. This is the only specimen of the type seen by PCGS, with NGC's only example, an AU58, selling in our 3044 sale (Lot #30327) for $1,762.50 all in. This piece, with brilliant shimmering surfaces, an exceptional quality of strike, and alluring gold, peach, and seafoam green toning, is perhaps the finest that many collectors will ever encounter in an auction, and accordingly represents a unique opportunity to own "the very best" of this iconic design.
