Bought this on on the Heritage Long Beach auction late here. The Habsburg Italian mint issues are far scarcer, especially in higher grades. I hope this one does not disappoint in hand as I have not seen it. Reverse looks stunning.

1824-M. Italian States. Lombardy-Venetia. Franz I of Austria Scudo. Milan mint, KM-C8.1, Dav-8. Obv. Laureate but of Austrian Emperor Franz II (I). Rev. Crowned double-headed eagle with arms on breast. Impressively struck, the devices cloaked in vibrant cerulean and seafoam tones over surfaces demonstrating clear underlying luster. NGC MS65+

    It looks good to me (and I don't mean a grade of good :) .

    All glory is fleeting.

    Awesome skin on that one! Reminds me a bit of an 1815 restoration medal I have for Francis with electric blue toning in the devices

  • It's a fabulous coin. One of my favorite pieces in the sale.
