ITALY. Tuscany. Piastre, 1585. Francesco I de Medici. PCGS AU-55 Gold Shield. Dav-8386. A well struck and fairly deeply toned example, this piece features light, even wear, with some golden hints highlighting the legends and devices, and no obtrusive marks. A very difficult type to encounter in a stellar state of preservation such as is seen here.
