Milan. Massimiliano Sforza Grosso ND (1512-1515) AU53 NGC, MIR-254 (RR), Gnecchi-3 (R4), Crippa-2 (R2). 2.35gm. A remarkably rare issue from the short-lived Duke of Milan, with our research revealing approximately just two others coming to auction in the last decade. Whereas both of those specimen show rather heavy circulation, though, the present coin keeps rub to a comparative minimum, virtually all of the script on the scroll legible, all as a soft luster illuminates the surfaces.
