Cologne. Archbishop Ruprecht (1463-1480) gold Goldgulden ND (1463-1464) AU Details (Mount Removed) NGC, Riel mint, Fr-798, Noss-403a/a var (no marks of contraction or stops on reverse). 3.18gm. First Period. *ROBЄRT' * Є | LЄC' * ЄCL CO', half figure of St. Peter, mantled and nimbate, facing, gospels in left hand, keys in right; shield below / MOn | nOVΛ | ΛVRЄ | ΛRIL, long cross over shield. A covetable example from this earliest period of Ruprecht's coinage, bordering on very rare at this AU level, with bold die polish still visible in the fields. The mount removal appears at 3 o'clock, but is rather well done and hardly distracting.
