Parma. Marie-Louise of Austria gold Specimen Medal of 12 Ducats 1818 SP63 PCGS, Bram-1811. 40mm. 41.9gm. By Giovanni Antonio Santarelli. Featuring Marie-Louise, second wife of Napoleon and Duchess of Parma, this appealing 12-Ducat medal exhibits exquisite engraving quality in the manner of the superb Napoleonic pieces which preceded it. The Duchess's portrait is boldly rendered and bears exceedingly few contact marks despite its high relief, whilst the reverse bridge is shallowly engraved yet minutely detailed. Produced to an exceptionally high standard even for its time of medallic renaissance, a rare and ever-popular type.
