ITALY. Papal States. Scudo, 1825-B (III). Bologna Mint. PCGS MS-65 Secure Holder.Berman-3255; KM-1297.1; Dav-187. About as original as one could expect from this impressively designed type, with satiny smooth texture in the fields and an attractive adornment of tone that is most gray with some intermingled iridescence in the centers and touched by amber and gold color along the outer edges. Perhaps worthy of an even higher grade if not for a natural flan inclusion on the "P" of "PON" on the obverse and a few light adjustments lines through the effigy of the Virgin Mary on the reverse.PCGS MS-65 Secure Holder.
