Milan. Galeazzo Maria Sforza gold Ducato ND (1466-1476) MS64 NGC, Fr-688, MIR-200/6. 3.48gm. The single certified example of this type by NGC, incredibly preserved in near-gem. Positively aglow with luster, the perfect lighting to appreciate the pristine strike to the planchet. Bearing essentially no production weakness whatsoever, this is clearly a piece struck to an impeccable standard and, somehow, scarcely handled for the 500+ years it has existed. These types are known at auction, but almost never seen so appealing as this. An absolutely stunning representative.
