Heritage: Italy World Coins Showcase Item 2 Obverse Naples & Sicily. Ferdinando IV gold 6 Ducati 1766-DG-CCR MS66 NGC,.jpg Heritage: Italy World Coins Showcase Item 2 Reverse Naples & Sicily. Ferdinando IV gold 6 Ducati 1766-DG-CCR MS66 NGC,.jpg

Naples & Sicily. Ferdinando IV gold 6 Ducati 1766-DG-CCR MS66 NGC, Naples mint, KM167, Fr-846. A magnificent example, flaunting strong cartwheel luster and velveteen smooth surfaces, coated in a bright aurous tone. Exceptional also through only a limited presence of adjustments marks, a phenomenon so-oft plaguing the 6-Ducati denomination and preventing the full design to shine through in other Gem-level pieces. With only two other MS66's graded at NGC, a true conditional rarity well-worthy of a premium bid.
