ITALY. Papal States. Piastra, Year XII (1634/5). Rome Mint. Urban VIII. PCGS EF-40.
Dav-4056; KM-181. With the obverse displaying the bust of the Pope in a highly decorative mantle and the reverse featuring a battle scene with St. George slaying the dragon, this RARE and pleasingly toned crown offers immense originality and a great wholesome nature. The handsome toning, which deepens a bit nearer the peripheries and around the devices, further allows this specimen to stand as a far superior representative of the type.
Estimate: $1500 - $3000
