Hesse-Cassel. Moritz the Learned (1592-1627) gold Goldgulden 1624-TS AU Details (Edge Filing) NGC, KM77, Fr-1243. 2.94gm. Entwined TS (For Terentius Schmidt) MAUR : D : G : LAND : HASS : C • C : D : Z : E : N, Hessian shield / MONETA • NOVA • AUREA • HASS : 16Z4 •, conjoined shields of Eppstein, Frankenstein, Itter and Plesse. The sole certified example of this extreme rarity, represented here in a spectacular Almost Uncirculated grade (the NGC 'edge filing' grade often somewhat irrelevant on hammered gold). This piece has been very well struck, essentially no weakness anywhere on the planchet and the sharp devices backlit by original mint luster. Auction record shows just one other example of this type having sold in the last twenty years, an ungraded specimen which brought over $30,000 hammer in 2012. We anticipate strong interest in this piece from collectors of German States rarities.
Ex. Adolph Cahn 55 (1926)
From the Allen Moretti Swiss Collection
