Basel. City gold Merit Medal 1770 MS63 NGC, Fr-87a, Winterstein-260A. 26.92gm. By J. J. Handmann. Rare in this choice state, a flashy, prooflike medal struck to the weight of 8 Ducats. The planchet has an irregularity, a metal crease running from 2 o'clock until 5 o'clock on the obverse and mirrored on the reverse, however this does not detract from the eye appeal, and merely serves as a textural point to emphasize the glossiness of the fields. Colored a decadent sun-gold, boldly impressed by the dies cumulating in sharp detail and strong eye appeal. An enticing selection for the collector of Swiss medals.
