Bern. Canton gold 1/2 Ducat 1719 MS64 NGC, KM93, Fr-173, HMZ-2-217f. Struck on a slightly irregular flan, though certainly fully so, with a resulting sharpness to the design features that would be difficult if not impossible to exceed. The surfaces reveal significant reflectivity upon inspection, resulting in an undeniable allure only heightened by the specimen's "Top Pop" position with NGC.
From the Allen Moretti Swiss Collection
