Fr-866; KM-368; Gig-12; Mont-685; F-487. SCARCE overdate. Beautifully executed dies display frosty features combining intricate design elements offering an expressive rendition of Ferdinand II. While the reverse motif exhibits what appears to be a finely engraved artistic version of the Archangel Michael advancing left towards a crowned alter. The bright open fields display signs of handling consistent for the grade with much reflectivity and brilliance adding to the allure of this highly sought after Italian Onza-sized gold coin. A pervasive pale golden tone with hints of orange throughout give this highly attractive survivor good eye appeal adding to its desirability.
Estimate: $20000.00- $30000.00
