Basel. City gold Medal of 8 Ducats 1770 MS63 PCGS, Fr-87a, SM-1075. 33mm. 26.93gm. By J.J. Handmann. Luminous across the entirety of the planchet with pleasing sun-gold luster expressed at every turn, only the most insignificant hairlines present to establish the assigned choice grade. A clear and artistic homage to the city and canton of Basel, this commendable medal combines characteristic 18th century engraving style with admirable conditional preservation.
