Prussia. Wilhelm I gold Proof Coronation Medal of 12 Ducats Weight 1861 PR61 Deep Cameo PCGS, 42.3mm. 41.87gm. By C. Pfeuffer. A massive, gold coronation medal featuring the conjoined busts of the Wilhelm I and Queen Augusta with various coats of arms around the royal sword, scepter, and orb. Dazzling harvest-gold surfaces present deeply-reflective fields and impressive cameo contrast, with minimal obverse handling that accounts for the grade, but is seemingly commonplace for a piece of this size. Undeniably sharp in both technical quality and visual appearance, a seldom encountered medal with instant allure.
Estimate: 4500-5500 USD
