Piacenza. Alessandro Farnese gold Quadrupla (2 Doppie) 1596-AP, Fr-899, MIR-1137/8 (R2), AU55 NGC. A scarce coin in any grade, this specimen is very lightly circulated and evenly struck with minimal die flaws. A tiny flan crack at one o'clock affects little of the design and the surfaces are generally free of abrasions. Overall, a very pleasing and uncommon offering for the advanced collector's cabinet.
Estimate: 10000-12000 USD
