Michael Apafi gold Ducat 1662 MS61 NGC, Hermannstadt mint, Fr-465, Resch-6. A very rare emission, difficult to obtain in any grade, much less in Mint State. This example retains near-full luster and exhibits only typical striking weakness for the type. Recent records have confirmed the strong demand for this issue, the latest comparable example to appear at auction that we have located sold for EUR 16000 hammer (approx. $20,000) off an EUR 8000 starting bid (Nudelman Auction 14, Lot 146, 27 September 2014).Ex. Eric P. Newman Collection
Estimate: 8000-10000 USD
