Genoa. Ligurian Republic gold 96 Lire Year VI (1803) MS63 NGC, KM270, Fr-448. A fleeting issue struck six years after the creation of the republic by Napoleon during the French Revolutionary Wars. The fields are lustrous and lightly speckled throughout, being struck with somewhat rusty dies, lending a superb appearance to the planchet. Very attractive, with a few planchet flaws noted, particularly to the right of the reverse wreath.
