ITALY. Venice. 1/4 Ducato, ND (1796-97)-FB. Ludovico Manin. PCGS MS-62.
KM-738; C-131. Crisply struck from finely engraved dies that portray intricate detail in the Lion of St. Mark. The flan is very well centered and shows no splitting beyond the denticles. Richly toned violet gray and ambergris, surfaces are original, exhibiting no handling nor any sign of hairlines. Luster is inherent, glimmering in the fields, yet the scarcity alone of this Mint State piece will be more than enough to draw attention of specialists.
Estimate: $280 - $400.
