Naples & Sicily. Francesco I gold 30 Ducati 1826 MS61 NGC, KM296, Fr-862. Produced only in 1825-6, this popular large gold denomination boasts satiny surfaces aglow with soft luster, free from wear in line with its grade. This short-lived type is scarce in any grade but hardly ever enters Mint State, making this MS61 specimen highly unusual and desirable to collectors. The obverse field shows evidence of handling with small hairlines and scratches as one would expect, the reverse comparatively unscathed and colored a warm butterscotch. An ever-popular piece from the second year of Franceso's reign, sure to please its next proud owner.
