Papal States. Innocent XI Piastra MDCLXXVI (1676) MS63 NGC, Rome mint, KM391, Dav-4084, B-2059. 32.04gm. Highly lustrous, with fine die polish lines in the fields yielding a sharp display of light and character, this choice Piastra vastly exceeds the majority of known survivors due to its standout preservation. Predominantly toned in soft silver, with isolated traces of soft pale gold and aquamarine coloration to the lower obverse periphery, all details uniformly sharp and lacking any identifiable traces of weakness.
