ITALY. Venice. Ducat, ND. Marco Barbarigo (1485-86). NGC MS-64.Fr-1240; Paolucci 51/1 (R5). An <strong>EXTREMELY RARE</strong> Ducat as a result of this Doges reign lasting less than a year. This example, preserved in astounding condition, displays incredibly fresh fields that are free of marks and sparkle with intense luster and sharp central designs that blur a little along portions of the edges due to strike doubling. The second finest example weve seen, the finest appearing in a December 2006 Numismatica Genevensis auction where it brought a hammer of 58,000 CHF.NGC MS-64.
