Selections from the Eric P. Newman Collection of World Coins. Papal States. Clemente VII gold 2 Fiorini di Camera ND (1523-34), Rome mint, Fr-59, Ber-829, Muntoni-13/14, MS64 NGC. This early Papal gold piece is in truly amazing condition. The surfaces are free of noticeable flaws, and the luster is full and brilliant. The obverse displays the Papal arms, while the reverse shows St. Peter, in a boat, fishing. Of the few pieces that appear for sale, none approach the Choice Mint State status of this exceptional example. We doubt if one might ever find its equal.
