Aargau - Muri Abbey. Placidus von Zurlauben gold Ducat 1720 AU55 PCGS, KM5, Fr-333, HMZ-212a. Struck on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Abbot's ordination as a priest, this very rare type has appeared at auction only a couple of times in the past 15 years. Light circulation and a handful of tiny surface marks have done little to diminish the eye-appeal of this specimen, with underlying, reflective fields and bright-gold tone contrasting pleasantly with the lightly frosted relief.From the Redwood Collection of Swiss Coins
Estimate: 5000-7000 USD
