Description

Savoy Charles I (1482-1490) Gold ducat V type Cornavin mint - MIR (Savoy) 263 AU (g 3.44) RRR Slight filing at the rim. This splendid coin can be considered the beginning of the gallery of portraits of the dukes of Savoy and therefore represents a real turning point in the entire coinage of this dynasty. Note that many features of early Renaissance coinage are then concentrated in it, such as the portrait and finely engraved letters still in Gothic typeface. Although it does not reach the artistic heights of the coeval Milanese series, from which, moreover, this coin certainly takes its cue, the duchy of Charles I ranks, in terms of beauty and rarity, at the top of Italian coinage of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. - SPL+
