3461. Lot 30175

描述:: Papal States. Leo X gold 2 Fiorini di Camera ND (1513-21), Rome mint, Fr-45, Berman-630, MS62 NGC. Rome Mint. A somewhat crudely produced issue with distinctly pebbly surfaces and a strike that, while nearly fully imparted, gives the devices an evenly rounded appearance. Closer inspection reveals only very minor instances of handling, with the matte-like texture blending nearly all instances of such into the coin's fabric. A considerable opportunity for the Italian specialist, as this rare "doppio" scarcely appears on the market; the last example we have traced hammered at 4,600 Euros in 2002. Realized $7,050.00.

3462. Lot 30176

描述:: Papal States. Clement VII gold Fiorino di Camera ND (1523-34), Rome mint, Fr-60, Berman-830, MS62 NGC. Rome Mint. Sharply rendered in the centers with frosty orange-gold luster in the fields. The reverse is particularly choice with no flaws. A small mark behind Saint Peter's head is the only observed post-strike disturbance. An attractive example of this iconic type that showcases Saint Peter casting his net from a boat. Ex: ?Colonel? E.H.R. Green; Green Estate? Partnership of Eric P Newman / B.G. Johnson. Realized $3,290.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

描述:: Papal States. Pope Leone X gold 2.5 Ducati ND (1513-21), Rome mint, Fr-43, Ber-628, Montuni I, 1, CNI-1, MS62 NGC. The earliest of the small group of Renaissance Papal gold coins and a seldom offered rarity. The obverse displays a bust of Pope Leone facing left, while the reverse shows the three Magi on horseback, riding left, guided by the comet. There are no significant flaws, and traces of luster remain. Leo X was the son of Lorenzo de Medici, head of the Florentine Republic. He was destined for an important ecclesiastical career from an early age, and formally admitted to the College of Cardinals at age 17, in 1492. He was elected Pope in 1513 after the death of Julius II. Pope Leo spent heavily and caused a financial crisis in the Vatican, but much of this money went to rebuild, and refurbish, Saint Peter's Basilica. His tenure was also marked by the beginning of the Reformation. Ex: ?Colonel? E.H.R. Green; Green Estate? Partnership of Eric P Newman / B.G. Johnson. Realized $44,062.50.

描述:: Papal States. Alessandro (Alexander) VI Borgia 2 Fiorino di Camera ND (1492-1503), Rome mint, Fr-30, Ber-527, Muntoni-4, MS63 NGC. o ALEXANDER o | oVI o PONT o MAX o, Papal arms in quadrilobe / o SANCTVS .o. PETRVS .o. ALMA .o. ROMA o, St. Peter fishing from a boat. Fully lustrous, and well-struck, with no flaws worth mention.

Alessandro Borgia was a prominent member of the decadent Borgia family, and the father of the infamous Lucrezia Borgia. The antics of the Borgia family, many true, some not, are legendary. Much of the dark part of Alessandro's reputation came from his enemies, but his successors in the Vatican described him as an outstanding Pope. Realized $14,100.00.

A particularly choice example, even at the assigned grade level,. Bright luster provides considerable flash to the surfaces, and an intricately defined strike is perfectly centered on the flan. A 90 degree counter-clockwise rotation is noted on the reverse. An extremely rare issue from this short-lived mint with the last traceable sale occurring in 10/1999, and the most comparable sale in terms of condition, a specimen termed FDC, occurring on 10/1990 for 6,000 Swiss Francs. Realized $9,400.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.
