Ragusa - Republic (1358-1808) - 3 Grosetti (Artiluk) 1648 (KM4, Barac214-II/R5) - Obv: Head St. Blasius with closed mitre right / Rev: City view, date and legend - 1.80 g. - F/VF, extremely rare coin
Altough the last digit of the date is indistinct, it has to be an 8. All pieces of the 1640's up to 1645 have a bust with an open mitre. The only 1640 dates with a closed mitre are 1647, 1648 and 1649. Since only the bottom part of the digit, a 'circle', is visible in the date, it must be 1648.
