Venice. Lodovico Manin gold 8 Zecchini ND (1789-1797) AU Details (Holed) NGC, KM759 (this coin), Fr-1441, CNI-VIIIb.64, Bellesia-422 (R4), Paolucci-10 (R3). 27.62gm. Struck on an expansive and medallic flan, this rare offering couples alluring motifs with a general preservation that is on the very boundary of Mint State. The surfaces remain highly lustrous, decorated in an abundance of golden brilliance that glistens in a captivating display throughout the entirety of the fields, while the devices exhibit commendable clarity to even the highest points. The light rub to the devices that is to be expected in an upper-tier circulated state remains nearly imperceptible, resulting in an allure that easily competes with that of uncirculated specimens. Wispy hairlines throughout may be judged as exceedingly mild and, truly, the only "flaw" of note is the punched-through hole at 12'clock, which allows for easy identification of this charming selection as the very same one pictured in the Standard Catalog of World Coins.
