Frankfurt. Free City in the Name of Josef II silver Specimen Pattern 2 Ducat 1764 SP64 PCGS, KM-Pn53. An extremely scarce and appealing pattern issue, this is certainly the finest graded example that has come to market certified by either NGC or PCGS. The last example that appeared at auction that we could locate hammered for $180 in AU58 (Ira & Larry Goldberg, Auction 47, Lot 2544, May 2008). With the present specimen being of far superior quality with soft white surfaces and slightly mottled toning in the exergal portion of the reverse, we expect this offering to bring a premium price. Featuring an elegant portraying of Peace standing above a wounded soldier, this is certainly a unique opportunity to acquire an example before it slips off the market.
