Saxony. Johann Georg I gold 2 Ducats 1630 UNC Details (Graffiti) NGC, KM421, Fr-2701. An extremely attractive example of this type that was struck to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Augsburg Confession, featuring the half-length busts of Johann Georg I and Johann I. If not for the initials faintly scratched into the reverse, this specimen would most likely grade choice Mint State. The design elements are fully-bold throughout and the luminous planchet decidedly shimmers from all angles. Even in the details holder, this selection does not disappoint.
