De Vilhena

R4 Gold 4 Zecchini

Here is the De Vilhena 4 Zecchini Gold coin. As you can see the quality is superb and the coat of arms in the rear is the rarer one. Although a slight mount mark does exist on the obverse of the coin, the strike is complete and the quality in the bust as well as the coat of arms is spectacular.

A coin which definately needs no introduction to its rarity can be considered as a good EF+, especially taking into consideration that it is a hard coin to find, in whatever condition. Some of the images in the Restelli & Sammut book which show this coin are also mounted, this just proves to show that its a lucky situation just to have one available for sale. For quite a few years a coin like this has not been on the market or at auction and one can expect to pay extraordinary prices at auction.
