Zurich. City gold "Zwingli" Medallic 2 Ducat 1719 MS63 NGC, KM-M3, Fr-488a. A highly desirable issue, unusual in its departure from the normal Swiss convention of featuring symbols on coins as opposed to notable individuals. The obverse shows the hatted bust of Huldrych Zwingli with a radiant sun over an alter on the reverse. Not only is this specimen rare, being a multiple-ducat weight, but the fields are highly lustrous and reveal only slight handling upon close inspection. The strike is commendable as well, fully impressed with every minute detail visible.
