Lucerne. Canton gold 2 Ducat 1741 UNC Details (Cleaned) PCGS, KM63, Fr-322, HMZ-2646b. An exquisite, scarcely offered and beautiful multiple Ducat, exhibiting some light cleaning yet retaining intense mint luster across the lemon gold planchet. On the obverse, two wild men, one carrying a palm and the other a sword hold a crown over the Lucerne crest, while all stand atop an ornamented mantle. The reverse holds familiar, yet more ornate than is typical style, with a 6-line inscription, detailing the denomination and date, inside a floriated wreath. These pieces are seldom encountered at auction and always generate considerable attention when they do; the last we offered, an MS62 piece in our August 2016 sale, realized $19,000 hammer and we do not doubt that despite its details grade, the rarity and eye appeal of this piece will see it attract strong bidding.
From the Allen Moretti Swiss Collection
