| Aanvullende informatie |
Francesco I d'Este became Duke of Modena in 1629, inheriting a state of middling importance and immediately setting about enlarging it — through diplomacy, military adventure, and deliberate cultural projection. The 12 Scudi d'Oro belongs to that program of self-promotion. Coins of this magnitude were never intended for trade; they were gifts, diplomatic instruments, and demonstrations of a court that could commission work rivaling anything from larger Italian states.
Frappier 773 is genuinely rare. At 42 grams of near-pure gold, surviving examples in any condition are infrequently offered.
