ITALY. Tuscany. Livorno. Mint Error -- Minor Clipped Planchet -- Pezza Della Rosa, 1718. Cosimo III Medici. PCGS AU-58 Gold Shield.Dav-1501; KM-15.4; CNI-XI, 47,102. Struck towards the end of the House of Medici and its total domination of most aspects of life in both Florence and Tuscany. Any evidence of the noted minor clipped planchet mint error is totally obscured by the gasket. This type of error is quite common on issues struck from roller dies, not just the present issue. Overall a highly attractive example with lovely old cabinet tone displaying plenty of iridescent hues.
