Frankfurt. Free City in the Name of Leopold II silver Specimen Pattern 2 Ducat by Johann Georg Bunsen 1790 SP64 PCGS, KM-Pn62. Likely the highest graded example to appear at auction, this brilliant specimen pattern boasts mirror-like surfaces with iridescent amber and cobalt tinges surrounding the legends. Only slightly off-center, the present offering clearly trumps the last piece sold at auction (ungraded example sold by Gerhard Hirsch Nachfolger in February 2016, Auction 318, Lot 3185 for a hammer of 150 Euros). A rare opportunity for the collector of German issues to broaden their cabinet or probe the fascinating world of patterns.
