Parma. Ranuccio Farnese I 2 Ducatone 1614 A-R XF45 NGC, Dav-4114, MIR-983/2 (R3). 62.99gm. A second specimen of this fascinating and largest silver emission of Ranuccio Farnese I, a series we had yet to handle until this sale which as luck would have it, includes a total of three. A real treat and visually captivating, with its intriguing retrograde date and noble rendering of Farnese. 1614-dated double Ducatones are scarce to say the least, especially when seen with only moderate instances of circulation, and while displaying reverse planchet imperfections and general striking weakness, we cannot deny the importance of these issues to advanced collectors of the Italian series.
Ex: Editions V. Gadoury (October 2020, Lot 1110)
