Struck under the reign of Ferdinando II of the Two Sicilies, this massive 30 Ducati piece stands as a testament to the grandeur and ambition of 19th-century Neapolitan coinage. Weighing over 37 grams, it represents one of the most impressive gold issues of the Italian peninsula during the period.
Obverse: Features a sharp portrait of King Ferdinando II facing left, surrounded by the Latin legend “FERDINANDVS II DEI GRATIA REX” with the date 1847 below.
Reverse: Showcases an allegorical scene of Victory leaning on a Corinthian column, holding a laurel wreath and resting her hand on a shield emblazoned with royal arms. The inscription “REGNI VTR SIC ET HIER” encircles the top, with the denomination “DUCATI 30” and the engraver’s inscription in the exergue.
Graded PCGS AU55, this example retains exceptional detail and bold surfaces for such a large and historically significant coin. Its impressive size and classical iconography make it a centerpiece of any Italian or European gold collection.
