Obverse: LEOPOLDVS D G R I S A G H B REX, laureate, draped, and armored bust right; Reverse: ARCHIDV AVST DVX BV CO TYR, crowned coat-of-arms within Collar of the Order of the Golden Fleece.

Undoubtedly, this represents a singular opportunity to acquire an oddity in a wholesome, problem-free state of preservation. For completeness, a few deposits in and around the shield on the reverse are noted, but the lustrous surfaces otherwise glisten with robust brilliance.

Estimate: $45000.00- $70000.00
