ITALY. Venice. Scudo, ND (1627-28)-IAM. Giovanni Corner I. PCGS AU-58 Gold Shield.
Dav-4244; KM-143. This very attractive and nicely preserved survivor offers a bold strike with strong central devices and legends exhibiting minimal signs of being double struck displaying beautiful old cabinet patina slightly subduing the surfaces. This is a piece where the designated grade does not necessarily reflect the overall quality; examples of this issue appear on the market with some frequency even in technically higher grades though many are not nearly as pleasant. This lovely example should be considered a real treat for the specialist of Venetian coinage seeking out high quality attractive survivors to expand their collections.
Estimate: $400.00- $600.00
