Asta Aurora 25 (again)
Never mind why I did not post this earlier with the other coin -- long story -- but I actually got two from that auction.
Here is the original lot description (in Italian):
Pisa, Cosimo II dè Medici, Tallero 1615, RRRR Ag mm 42 millesimo estremamente raro, in alta conservazione con bella patina, SPL-FDC
And here is (likely) what the description would be for my own ticket:
ITALY, Toscana (Granducato). Cosimo II de Medici. Grand Duke, 1608-1620. AR Tallero (42mm, 28.50g, 6h). Pisa mint. Dated 1615. • COSMV • II • MAGN • DVX • ETRV • IIII •, radiate and armored half-length bust right, wearing Cross of Malta, holding lis-tipped scepter over right shoulder, left hand on hilt; • 1615 • below / PISA • INVETVSTATÆ • MAIESTATIS • MEMORIAM, crowned coat-of-arms of Medici set on ornate frame. CNI XI -; MIR 448/7; Davenport 4195; KM 16.3. EF.
Very rare date!
