Venice. Francesco Morosoni lead "Victory Against the Turks" Medal 1688 AU55 NGC, Voltolina-1066. 61 mm. By Philipp Heinrich Müller. Edge reads: VIDERUNT INSULAE ET TIMUERUNT EXTREMAE TERRAE OBSTUPERUERUNT ET ACCESSERUNT ESAI 4I. Commemorating Morosoni's appointment as Doge and the victory of Venice against the Ottomans. Extremely rare, well-struck with some light disruption to the high points of this soft metal medal but otherwise pleasing detail; remnants of silvery luster reside in the recesses. High quality and scarcely encountered at auction.
From the Allen Moretti Swiss Collection
