This one is a new addition currently in transit. The piastra (Scudo of 80 Bolognini) was issued under Clement IX and features the throne of St Peter on the reverse. Classified as DAV-4072, Muntoni 4, Berman 1969. This particular one was was from the Thomas Fitzgerald collection of Papal coins. Not considered rare, but certainly uncommon in decent condition absent of mounting, tooling, etc. NGC AU-55.

Thanks guys!
Interestingly, the total NGC population of Piastras across all dates and grades is 161 (dates 1588-1715). A total of 364 scudos have been graded between the dates 1753 to 1846. These numbers do not include 1/2 piastras or 1/2 scudos. I would have expected higher numbers.
Comparable PCGS populations from what I can determine:
Piastras - 45
Scudos - 138
Very nice.
