Geneva. Canton gold Ducat 1647-G UNC Details (Cleaned) NGC, KM42, Fr-257, HMZ-2-311d. 3.43gm. Struck on a slightly wavy flan, with some hairlines indicative of past cleaning, yet the surfaces of this Genevan Ducat are still highly lustrous, its detail almost fully struck-up and hardly worn--clearly an UNC piece with strong visual allure. This is the sole certified example of this rarity, with auction records showing no other specimens except for this present offering selling within the last 20 years. As such, it is reasonable to assume that this piece may be the only example available to collectors. We consequently imagine that its presence at auction will elicit a very strong response from bidders, and that it will find its place in a top-tier collection of Swiss gold.
