Sardinia. Carlo Emanuele III gold 5 Doppie (Carlino) 1755 AU Details (Rim Repair) NGC, Turin mint, KM53, Fr-1103, MIR-941a (R5), Mont-117 (R3), Bellesia-133/A (R2). 47.95gm. A massive and seldom-seen gold issue of Sardinia, overall quite pleasing in appearance, with bright, warm luster and only the faintest indications of circulation upon the high points. Slight evidence of repair work at approximately 10 o'clock on the reverse rim accounts for the grade, but the damage is quite minimal. Only the third example of this incredibly rare type we have handled, the next closest we sold, an AU55, achieved $50,400 as part of our August 2019 Platinum Night auction. Standing as one of only four total pieces certified to date by NGC, it is truly a magnificent coin, sure to enhance any collection.
