The catalog description&lt;sup&gt;[1]&lt;/sup&gt; noted, &quot;[[Italy|ITALY]]. [[Italy, Tuscany|Tuscany]]. Piastre, 1591. Florence Mint. Ferdinand I Medici. PCGS Genuine--Repaired, EF Details. A remarkable crown depicting an artful bust of Ferdinand de' Medici, the third surviving son of Cosimo I. Both sides present a uniform appearance in hand with an even endowment of light sandy gray tone that provides pleasing appeal. Perhaps there is a bit of old repairing in the fields, but it is quite hard to discern anything problematic. Therefore, the present piece has much to offer the collector seeking to expand their Italian States or Medici-focused cabinet. Ex: Claude Collier (World Crown Sale) (03/1956), lot #1162. With old handwritten ticket.&quot; After the Florentine republic collapsed, it was reconstituted as the Grand Duchy of Tuscany, ruled by the Medicis until 1723. Altho the auctioneers catalogued this as Dav-8383, it is actually Dav-8389, the most common Tuscan piastre of the sixteenth century. It was struck 1588-96.<br /> <br /> ''Recorded mintage:'' unknown.<br /> <br /> ''Specification:'' silver.<br /> <br /> ''Catalog reference:'' [[Silver crowns by Davenport number|Dav-8389]]; Montagano-163/2. <br /> <br /> ''[[Bibliography|Source:]]''<br /> * Davenport, John S., ''European Crowns, 1484-1600,'' Frankfurt: Numismatischer Verlag, 1977.<br /> * &lt;sup&gt;[1]&lt;/sup&gt;Orsini, Matt, Kyle Ponterio and Jeremy Bostwick, ''September 2023 World Collectors Choice Online Auction - Ancient &amp; World Coins,'' Costa Mesa, CA: Stack's Bowers Galleries, Inc., 2023.<br /> <br /> ''Link to:''<br /> * [[Tuscany 1585 piastra Dav-8386|1585 piastra]]<br /> * [[Tuscany 1594 piastra Dav-8389|1594 piastra]]<br /> * [[Coins and currency dated 1591]]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Selections from the Stack's Bowers 2023 Collector's Choice sale]][[Category:European crowns and thalers]]</div>
