Description
An Incredible Specimen of Perhaps Milan's Most Illustrious Duke
Milan. Ludovico Maria Sforza gold 2 Ducato ND (1494-1500) MS61
NGC, Fr-698, Bellesia-35 (R/3), MIR-228/3 (RRR). 6.96gm.
(Mitered head) LVDOVICVS' M • | SF • AN | GLV • DVX • MLI, armored
bust of Ludovico right / +PP' ANGLE • Q3 • CO • AC | IANVE • D |
7C, armored knight on horseback riding right, brandishing sword.
The perfect constellation of rarity and historicity to say the
least, the coinage of Ludovico Sfroza almost never appearing at
auction outside of Europe, let alone when found so singularly
gorgeous, not a trace of waviness to the flan, the strike perfectly
centered, and hardly a significant mark in the fields. Yet more
allure is provided by association with Sforza himself, the renowned
patron of Leonardo da Vinci and commissioner of The Last
Supper, who presided over the zenith of the Milanese
Renaissance.From the Allen Moretti Swiss Collection
