Transylvania
Gabriel Bathori gold Ducat 1613-NB MS62 NGC, Neustadt (Nagybanya) mint, KM74, Fr-332, Resch-191. A distinctive four-year type that was struck during the reign of Gabriel Bathori as the Prince of Transylvania. The current coin, the final year of issue for the type, was surely just struck in the months that preceded Gabriel's assassination on October 27, 1613, and as such, serves as an interesting historical marker of the end of an era. Struck on a lightly crinkled flan, as made, with an attractive juxtaposition of satiny central luster and shimmering mint brilliance at the peripheries.
