1795 Venice, Silver Gilt Osella of Murano

Rare 1795 silver gilt Osella of Ludovico Manin, the last Doge of Venice, from the city of Murano. Obverse: four shields within four bands of legend. Reverse: similar, the names of the four deputies on the bands, Paolucci #614, marks on the edge from a mount as is common with these presentation pieces, very fine, rare and lovely.
