Venice. Alvise IV Mocenigo gold Scudo della Croce of 12 Zecchini ND (1771-1772)-MAT AU Details (Damage) PCGS, Venice mint, KM-Pn181, Fr-1484 (Rare), cf. Paolucci-19 (only listed in silver). An undeniably elusive gold rendition of the popular Scudo della Croce, a large-size Venetian issue. Soundly-struck motifs occupy this high-relief piece with muted and lightly-toned surfaces indicating a long ago intervention. Despite the grade qualifier, this offering has ample eye-appeal in hand, presenting an antique-look to the peripheries with little to no signs of handling. Only the third piece offered in the last 20 years, it will likely pique the interest of Italian type collectors.
Ex. Hess-Divo Auction 328 (May 2015, Lot 1159)
