Parma. Ranuccio Farnese I 2 Ducatone 1604 L-S VF30 NGC, Dav-4114, MIR-983/1 (R3). 63.34gm. Of exceptional rarity as a type, with only a small handful having come to market in recent decades. Expressing a surprisingly refined portrait of Ranuccio Farnese I, Duke of Parma and Piacenza, this moderately handled representative endures as a clear demonstration for the ruler's appreciation of the arts. Uniform pewter surfaces abound this absolute treasure of a rarity, and while a gentle dispersal of grade limiting friction and rim dings caps the assigned grade, an opportunity to own an appreciable example of this expansive silver issue is undeniable.
Ex. Editions V. Gadoury (October 2020, Lot 1109); Nomisma Auction 20 (December 2006, Lot 845)
