Italy
Papal States. Sede Vacante Scudo 1846-R, Rome mint, KM1335, MS63 NGC. Pleasant, dappled-gray patination with highly-prooflike surfaces and plentiful burnt umber highlights. This is an absolutely dazzling example of this one-year type featuring the stylistically beautiful Cardinal arms and radiant dove. An excellent, detailed specimen worthy of a premium bid.
Estimate: 1500-1800 USD
