German States
Regensburg. Free City gold 4 Ducat 1664-HF MS63 NGC, KM173, Fr-2479, Beckenbauer-302. 13.88gm. With the name and titles of Leopold I. Mintmaster Hieronymus Federer (signed on obverse). The highest grade level for this extremely rare type at NGC, with none certified finer; and truly, in-hand, it is hard to imagine what more one could want for eye appeal. Rendered in exceptional relief with striking detail almost to the very highest points of the design, bold enough to provide a shadow-contrast to the dimly mirrored fields behind, reflectivity transforming into a faint matte luster at the margins. An offering produced to a fantastic standard, and preserved to a level deserving of its beauty. A must-have for any collector concerned with only the finest of German States coins.
