Savoy. Carlo Emanuele II gold 4 Scudi d'Oro 1641 MS62 NGC, Turin mint, KM172.1, Fr-1071.1, MIR-739. 13.26gm. An extremely scarce multiple Scudi d'Oro and the first representative of this denomination that we have handled to date. What marks this offering as rare and desirable is more than the fleeting nature of its type alone, for its surfaces remain highly lustrous and unimpacted by circulation, placing this glowing selection firmly within the bounds of Mint State and contributing further to its rarity by its standout conditional preservation. The strike is weak in areas, as one expects from mid-17th century coinage, yet the placement of the dies is generally well-centered, producing a firm sense of visual balance, while the surfaces as a whole are blanketed in satiny and luminous golden luster. One of only three examples certified by NGC to date, and an elusive opportunity not to be missed.
