Bern. City gold Off-Metal 1/4 Ducat 1778 Net VF20 (Mount Removed - Damaged) ANACS, KM-Pn15, HMZ-2226t. A rare off-metal strike of KM122 (1/2 kreuzer) that was originally struck in billon. The only similar record we've found was in a Sincona auction where an example with obvious scratches hammered for approximately 4,000 USD. Though evidence of mount removed is apparent on this piece, this coin still retains 90% of the details fully intact with bright luster. A seldom-seen chance encounter to acquire this rare offering.From the Redwood Collection, Part II
Estimate: 1000-2000 USD
