Italy
Papal States. Sede Vacante Scudo MDCCCXXIX (1829)-B MS66 NGC, Bologna mint, KM1303, Dav-188, B-3263. Struck to commendable clarity such that even the most intricate details remain well-expressed against the surrounding features. The obverse is draped in a lilac-imbued silver tone, the reverse more lightly patinated and consequently emitting a bright flash against devices showcasing a perceptibly medallic feel. To date, unchallenged in this elite gem grade.
