Crusader States
Chios. Anonymous gold Imitative Ducat ND (1343-1354) MS65 NGC, Fr-2a. 3.55gm. Imitating a Venetian ducat of Andrea Dandolo. An excellent representative of this imitative issue revealing deep, satiny golden luster throughout the broad expanses of the flan, these accompanied by a gentle spread of die polish lines while lacking any meaningful handling whatsoever. For the type, rarely found so choice, and certainly worthy of both in-hand inspection and a premium bid.
From the Caranett Collection
