Sigismund Bathori gold Ducat 1597-NB MS65 NGC, Nagybanya mint, Fr-297, Resch-217, Husz-112. SIGISMVND * * BATHORI • *, the Madonna seated facing on lunette, holding Holy Infant / S * LADISLAVS REX *, St. Ladislaus standing slightly right, holding axe and orb. An overly impressive gem, only slightly struck off center, yet with all of the design elements meticulously expressed, completely tone free with a gorgeous pale gold shimmer. A veritable gem and worthy of serious consideration.
