Ragusa
Republic 1/2 Tallero (1/2 Vizlin) 1747 VF25 NGC, cf. KM13 (this date unlisted), Dechant-pg. 183, CNI-VIb.256. An immensely elusive type in all states of preservation, this denomination represented by a mere two specimens in NGC's census (this piece and the previous lot), with none yet seen by PCGS. Similar to the 1/2 Tallero of 1731, this date is also unrecorded by the Standard Catalog and known to the Corpus Nummorum Italicorum from a single example in the Rešetar Collection (Dechant also records one in the C. Hirsch Collection), with none emerging from a survey of auction records from the past two decades. Though admitting substantial wear in-line with its certification, the type retains a remarkable degree of clarity to the legends and reverse arms for the grade, adjustment marks almost entirely confined to the area around the crown on the reverse.
