Italy
Tuscany. Leopold II gold 80 Fiorini 1828 MS63+ NGC, Florence mint, KM-C78. The second and final year of this two-year type. Bold, prooflike and with absolutely fabulous striking detail, this is a piece which, despite its premium choice grade, appears to be bordering on gem. Just a delight to view in hand, its color a deep and alluring gold and inescapable through eye catching glossy reflectivity in the field. The obverse center shows concentric circles of die polish, a charming addition to the eye appeal and texture of the surface. Unlikely to be closely matched in its grade, and surely unbeatable for its superb visual appeal.
