Salzburg. Maximilian Gandolph gold 10 Ducat 1668 AU53 NGC, KM204, Fr-797, Probszt-1593. 34.51gm. Obv. Arms below hat in inner circle. Rev. Two saints seated facing each other with croziers, church in foreground. An exceptional 17th century multiple-ducat exhibiting impressive clarity and definition of detail. The surfaces are awash with golden brilliance, a feature that has been retained despite mild circulation due to the abundance of raised features across the surfaces, which have protected the lower-lying regions. The level of intricacy seen in the devices may come as a surprise to those accustomed to heavier wear at this level of certification, an observation that undoubtedly serves as a testament to the depth of the strike that created this inspiring representative. An opportunity to acquire such a rarity surely does not arise often, and the profound quality demonstrated by this example without a doubt only makes it all the more desirable.
