Papal States. Clement XI gold Scudo d'Oro ND (1717)-R Anno XVIII MS64 NGC, Rome mint, KM770. An extremely scarce and seldom offered one-year type, very well-preserved, and with all the hallmarks of a premium specimen. With a profound strike, well centered central motifs, deep lager hue with some small isolated rose spots, and a cleanness to the surfaces that seem to make a case for a gem designation. A lovely offering sure to entice even the most discerning collector. We note that this exact piece realized $3760 including the Buyer's premium in our 3037 Sale, Lot #30238.
