World, Italy, Sicily, Ferdinando III, silver oncia (30 tari) 1793, his bust right/Phoenix rising from fire under sunbeams; elaborately decorated edge. 48 mm, 68.1 g.
This enormous silver coin was minted as a replacement for the older gold oncia (which weighed 4.4 g), as referenced by the reverse design and legend, EX AVRO ARGENTEA RESVRGIT - silver rises again from gold.
VF+, toned, a nice example without the usual adjustment marks. Rare.
