Tuscany. Ferdinand III gold Ruspone (3 Zecchini) 1795, Florence mint, KM-C39, Fr-336, MIR-402 (R4), AU55 PCGS (Tuscany). Francesco Grobert, mintmaster. A magnificent example featuring John the Baptist and the stylized Lily of Florence with unicorn below. Boldly struck from clashed dies, this piece has fully-brilliant luster, incredibly sharp detail and endless eye-appeal. An absolute scarcity in the short-lived series, made even rarer by the fact that we are unable to locate any auction records for this particular date.
Estimate: 4000-6000 USD
