CRUSADER STATES. Knights of Rhodes (Knights Hospitaller). Zecchino, ND (1513-21). Fabrizio del Carretto. PCGS Genuine--Spot Removed, Unc Details.
Fr-11; Metcalf-58. Imitating Venice. Obverse: St. Mark standing right, holding Gospels and presenting banner to Fabrizio kneeling left; Reverse: Christ the Redeemer standing facing within mandorla containing nine stars. Imitating the popular gold trade coin of the Mediterranean, this Crusader-era issue nevertheless features the name of the 43rd Grand Master of the Knights Hospitaller. A minor spot removal on the obverse accounts for the details designation, but this example is otherwise free from handling and sports a well executed strike.
Estimate: $1000 - $1500
