Papal States, Alexander VI, Doppio Fiorino, 1492-1503, Rome, Gold, PCGS, MS63

Papal coat of arms under a tiara set on saltire keys of paradise., Representation of the biblical episode of the first miraculous catch of fish., Graded PCGS MS63. Extremely rare and splendid double florin, the second most beautiful graded by PCGS! The coin has been inserted by PCGS the wrong way round in its slab, so the pontifical arms should be on the obverse. The miraculous catch of fish scene is particularly interesting, representing the biblical episode in which the future Saint Peter (the first Pope) decides to follow Jesus after the latter miraculously fills his then desperately empty nets.
