MALTA. Order of Malta. 30 Tari, 1798. Valletta Mint. Ferdinand Hompesch. PCGS Genuine--Tooled, AU Details Gold Shield.
Dav-1611; KM-345.1; Schembri-1. A sharp example of this desirable type with clouds of luster surrounding most of the design elements. The obverse die has began to buckle and a crack stems from the rim at 9 o'clock into the left field. A few old scratches in the left obverse field show under scrutiny but have largely toned over. The surfaces are otherwise smooth, toned in steel blue and olive gold patina.
From the Collection of Dr. James Eustace Bizzell, II.
Estimate: $150.00- $250.00
