Frankfurt. Free City 2 Gulden 1848 MS66 NGC, KM337. A stunning selection struck to commemorate the Constitutional Convention featuring the crowned eagle obverse and crowned double-eagle reverse. Spectacularly detailed with lustrous surfaces that present all-over steel-gray patination and darker tone that drips from the devices. According to the SCWC, "These coins were struck in anticipation of the Constitutional Convention (which) was scheduled to take place on May 1, 1848, When the convention was delayed until May 18, 1848 the coins were recalled and the dies were altered to reflect the new date." With a relatively low mintage of only 8,600 pieces, rare so choice.
Estimate: 1000-1250 USD
