Genoa. Republic gold 96 Lire 1796 MS63 NGC, Genoa mint, KM251. Positively brilliant, with bright aurous luster which takes on a particular radiance surrounding the reverse design displaying two griffins supporting crowned arms. One could hardly expect to come across a much finer example of the type, an observation supported by the NGC census, which places this specimen as the finest certified by that service.
