Papal States. Clement VII (1523-34) gold Scudo d'oro ND AU Details (Harshly Cleaned) NGC, Bologna mint, 3.32g, Fr-342, B-874. A quite pleasing and fairly scarce issue, despite signs of wiping having obscured the original surfaces, a considerable amount of original eye-appeal remains undimmed. The relative crispness of the legends, as well as clear remnants of the engraver's guide to the circular designs, suggests perhaps a lighter degree of cleaning than the "harshly cleaned" modifier would at first bring to mind.
