Nürnberg. Free City gold Ducat 1640 MS65 NGC, KM155, Fr-1826. Exceedingly well-preserved for this clearly milled type, its manufacture discernable by a very subtle but even curvature to the flan. The fields, glowing and revealing a minimum of contact, are filled with die polish lines on both the obverse and reverse, these easily traceable under the flow of golden luster that warms the planchet, highlighting the sharpness of the devices at every turn.
From the Caranett Collection
