Papal States. Benedict XIV Testone Anno VI (1746) MS62 NGC, Rome mint, KM952, B-2742. A notoriously rare one-year papal type, with reportedly mintage figures ranging between 700 and 1200 pieces. Almost never encountered at auction outside of Europe, with a perfect balance of gunmetal-plumb fields and golden toning highlights sure to appeal to even the most scrupulous collector.
