Zurich. City gold Restrike Medal for Merit of 10 Ducats ND MS63 Prooflike NGC, Hürlimann-Unl., SM-228. 45mm. 34.51gm. By HJ Gessner and HJ Bullinger III. Originally struck as a medal for merit in silver, this appears to be a later Restrike issue, impressively produced in gold. This is the first such example we have been able to locate, representing a type of clear rarity with an uncertain number of survivors in existence today. The fields are highly mirrored and display attractive aged tone, with the devices expressed to razor sharpness down to even the smallest details in the intricate Zürich city view. Certified in praiseworthy choice condition and unlikely to be encountered again by most bidders.
From the Allen Moretti Swiss Collection
