(sold for $5500.0)
Italian States -- Sicily. Onza of 30 Tari, 1793-Nd-OV (Palermo). Dav-1422; Spahr-3; C-38. 68.28 grams. Ferdinand III, 1759-1816. Cuirassed bust right. Reverse: Phoenix reborn from flames right, under radiant sun. Fine strike on a broad flan with gigantic denticles, faintest adjustments on both sides. Pleasing silvery gray toning, tending to lavender on the obverse, less so on the reverse. A good example of one of the more interesting numismatic portraits! NGC graded AU-58. Ferdinand ruled from 1759-1816 yet he was unfortunate to co-exist with Napoleon, was deposed two times and restored to the monarchy on three occasions. He was a true reactionary, and instituted programs of severe repression against anyone who dared to suggest reform. His image here more than hints at arrogance. Estimated Value $5,000 - 6,000. Ex Millennia, Lot 736. Categories:
