Stanislaus Augustus gold "Coronation" Medal 1764 AU50 NGC, London mint, Raczynski-487, HCz-5321 (R5). 33mm. 20.22gm. By Thomas Pingo. Mintage: 300. Of immense rarity, and the only coronation type produced for the reign of Stanislaus Augustus, this gold medal is one of only two that have appeared at auction in recent years according to our research, the other heavily damaged both in the fields and along the rims. While admitting a scattering of light contact marks in the fields, the piece on the whole is unbent and free of signs of edge filing or mount removals. Almost never found outside of Poland, and of incredible desirability as such.
Ex. Heritage Auction 3051 (January 2017, Lot 3051); Dr. Lawrence A. Adams Collection; RARCOA (March 1986, Lot 101)
