ITALY. Tuscany. 80 Fiorini, 1828. Florence Mint. Leopold II. PCGS MS-62.Fr-343; C-78; MIR-443/2; Gig-2; Mont-306. A RARE large denomination gold piece with a very attractive and skillfully executed design. Crisply struck and featuring brilliant flashing surfaces and sharp devices. The fields show a reflectivity that is most dramatic on the reverse, while satiny luster blankets the design elements. Tinges of honey-gold patina are scattered throughout and add to the exceptional eye appeal for this grade level. Just 3 coins are graded finer by PCGS.
