Piacenza. Alessandro Farnese gold Quadrupla (2 Doppie) 1597 AU53 NGC, Fr-899. An excellent example of Posthumous coinage struck during the reign of Ranuccio Farnese I featuring the draped bust of his father, Alessandro Farnese. Attractive, with bold features and minor highpoint wear, this large gold specimen features incredible reverse imagery of a she-wolf standing under a tree. A superb offering with instant and long-lasting appeal, scarcely encountered in this select quality.From The Alexander Collection
