GERMANY. Bavaria. Ducat, 1787. Karl Theodor (1777-99). NGC MS-63.
Fr-255; KM-568. A popular leader who did much to support the arts along with opening an academy of science, and a close friend of Voltaire. While he had little interest in the affairs of state, he certainly had some beautiful coinage struck in his name. The piece offered here is a splendid example. Prooflike fields and sharp devices, light clear tone and loads of luster. A highly appealing piece that is certain to generate interest as it crosses the auction block. NGC MS-63.
Estimate: $1900.00- $2300.00
