Papal States. Pius VI gold 10 Zecchini Anno XII (1787) MS62 Prooflike NGC, Bologna mint, KM309, Fr-390, B-3012. 34.23gm. A sought-after type in Mint State and even more so with this elusive Prooflike designation, which only four examples at NGC have received. The medallic devices of St. Peter and the Papal coat of arms are appreciably rendered, the legends even deeper, all set against pondlike fields that eagerly flash in hand. A lack of tone furthers the piece's appeal, lending to unencumbered enjoyment of the design.
