ITALY. Tuscany. 80 Fiorini, 1827. Florence Mint. Leopold II. PCGS MS-67 Gold Shield.Fr-343; C-78; Mont-305; Gig-1. Simply astounding, this is by no small margin the finest example of this type this cataloger has had the privilege to handle. Vibrantly lustrous surfaces glow around needle-sharp devices, frosty and fully executed by an exacting and careful strike. Since its production, this piece has clearly been lovingly protected as it betrays absolutely minimal signs of past handling with light tone accentuating the almost prooflike contrast between the devices and fields.
