Naples & Sicily. Ferdinand II gold 30 Ducati 1852 MS61+ NGC, Naples mint, KM368. A decidedly Mint State example of this massive golden denomination and the final year in the short-lived series that remains incredibly challenging to acquire so fine. Typically encountered in lesser grades with a higher degree of handling marks over the wide expanses, this specimen debuts a honey-infused planchet with sharp detailing throughout the raised elements, as is confirmed by the coveted plus designation by NGC for technical proficiency, making this a model representative of the issue.
