Switzerland
Bern. City gold 4 Ducat ND (c. 1775) MS63+ NGC, KM105.1, Fr-146. Struck on a broad, gleaming flan, with even the most minute portions of the design fully rendered. The surfaces reveal clear reflectivity, with a resulting cameo-like contrast between the satiny devices and the mirrored backdrop evident even upon short inspection. Such a commanding specimen is hardly encountered often, making the choice "plus" quality achieved even more remarkable. This example currently stands as the only one certified by NGC, with none seen by PCGS to-date.
From the Allen Moretti Swiss Collection
