ITALY. Tuscany. 4 Fiorini (Francescone - 10 Paoli), 1846. Florence Mint. Leopold II. PCGS MS-65.
Dav-160; KM-C-75B. An incredibly unrivaled Gem, this monumental crown, displaying an exceptional cabinet tone with a great pullaway effect, stands alone atop the PCGS census report, and was once described a "exemplaire de présentation" when it appeared in a 2012 Numismatica Genevensis auction. As such, a coin that should also stand rather tall in the next collection into which it enters.
Ex: Numismatica Genevensis 7 (11/2012) Lot # 1427 @ 6,000 CHF.
Estimate: $3000 - $5000
