Venice. Silvestro Valier gold Zecchino ND (1694-1700) UNC Details (Edge Filing) NGC, KM436, CNI-VIIIb.104var (pellet placement). SILV • VALERIO | S | • M | • V | E | N | E | T • / SIT • T • XPE • DAT • Q • TV | REGIS • ISTE • DVCA. A very presentable example of this lesser-seen doge's coinage, the fields a radiate honey-gold with few imperfections, all on a very round flan. The noted edge filing seems virtually dismissible, hardly hampering the eye-appeal and is more likely an adjustment of the coin's weight at the mint.
