Selections from the Eric P. Newman Collection of World Coins. Venice. Alvise Pisani silver Pattern 1/8 Ducat ND-MS (1735-41), Paolucci-19, MS63 NGC. Extremely rare- only one other example has sold in the past decade. That piece was auctioned by a major European auction company in 2007 and was an across-the-board inferior specimen but still hammered at 1200 euros. This example is well-struck and toned, with underlying luster.
Estimate: 1500-2000 USD
