ITALY. Venice. Ducato, ND (1796-97)-FB. Ludovico Manin. PCGS MS-62 Gold Shield. Dav-1574; KM-746. Incredible quality for this crown, the present piece stands as the only example seen of the type at PCGS and offers a rather sharp strike with a subtle pastel tone and a good deal of original brilliance remaining. For completeness, a few light edge splits are noted, but are entirely consistent for the issue.
