GERMANY. Moers. Goldgulden, ND (1375-1417). Friedrich II. NGC VF-30.
Fr-1747. Obverse: Central coat-of-arms surrounded by three smaller coats-of-arms; all within trilobe; Reverse: St. John the Baptist standing facing, holding lis-tipped scepter and raising hand in benediction. This INCREDIBLY RARE offering--according to Friedberg, one of just two examples extant--stands as one of the most difficult to encounter and acquire within the entire medieval gold series, especially the Florentine-style trade coins that dominated Europe at the time. Though it exhibits some obvious use in circulation through handling, it remains entirely wholesome and problem-free--a challenge given its age.
Ex: Stack's (1/2008) Lot # 2695.
Estimate: $12000.00- $18000.00
