Regensburg. Free City gold 4 Ducat 1664-HF MS63 NGC, KM173, Fr-2479, Beckenbauer-302. 13.89gm. With the name and titles of Leopold I. Mintmaster Hieronymus Federer (signed on obverse). Preserved with great care these past three and a half centuries, this stunning multiple ducat combines scintillating golden luster that flows across the fields with rich imagery, consistently struck to admirable definition, resulting in a remarkable display of visual quality that most collectors could only hope to encounter from the type, or any gold coinage of its denominational rank and age. And still, to say that the raised features are well-struck may be to underplay their strength, as not a single trace of weakness can be found across the devices, rendered to such relief that they are easily discernible at every angle of inspection. Laudable in every sense, this offering is a true treat that should undoubtedly be experienced in hand for its full aesthetic impact.
