Switzerland
Bern. City gold 4 Ducat ND (c. 1710) MS61 NGC, KM78.1 or KM109.1 (same dies), Fr-153 (same), Divo-463e, HMZ-2-209a. 13.77gm. An emblematic and seldom found early 18th-century multiple ducat that fully captures the romanticism of contemporary Swiss coinage in all its splendor. Evincing strongly medallic features alongside mild surface reflectivity, the obverse die cracks and flaw at the second E of the city name appear to be a die state of all examples that we have been able to locate.
