ITALY. Tuscany. Piastre, 1591. Florence Mint. Ferdinand I Medici. PCGS Genuine--Repaired, EF Details.
Dav-8383; Montagano-163/2. A remarkable crown depicting an artful bust of Ferdinand de' Medici, the third surviving son of Cosimo I. Both sides present a uniform appearance in hand with an even endowment of light sandy gray tone that provides pleasing appeal. Perhaps there is a bit of old repairing in the fields, but it is quite hard to discern anything problematic. Therefore, the present piece has much to offer the collector seeking to expand their Italian States or Medici-focused cabinet.
