Selections from the Eric P. Newman Collection of World Coins. Papal States. Clemente XI gold Scudo d'oro Year 18 (1717), Rome mint, Fr-206, Berman-2363, MS63 NGC. Rare in this condition; the only other example we have sold of this type was one graded MS64 in April 2013, which realized $3,290. The present example is struck from a later state of the same reverse die, as the die break on the reverse is slightly larger than the one previously sold, though still unobtrusive.
Estimate: 2000-3000 USD
