Switzerland
Basel. City gold Ducat ND (c. 1775) MS62 NGC, KM173, Fr-45. A superlative Ducat with almost prooflike reflectivity in the fields behind the crisp and dynamic obverse Basilisk. Aside from its sharpness and technical quality, the eye appeal of this piece has been bolstered further through an iridescent peach tone illuminating the planchet; seldom offered in any grade, and almost unseen so fine as this.
From the Allen Moretti Swiss Collection
