ITALY. Parma. Doppia, 1797-S. Ferdinando di Borbone (1765-1802). NGC MS-63.Fr-930; KM-C18a (unlisted date); CNI-unlisted date. Struck during French military occupation, this piece exhibits radiant mint bloom with few marks and attractive russet toning highlights around the legends. A <strong>RARE</strong> date as well, this is quite possibly the very finest that survives.From the Collection of Dr. James Eustace Bizzell, II.
