Leopold I gold 5 Ducat 1659 UNC Details (Obverse Graffiti) NGC, Vienna mint, KM1163, Fr-262, Horsky-Unl., Herinek-84, CNA-8-a-2. Franz Faber von Rosenstock as mintmaster. Laureate bust of Leopold I right / Crowned imperial eagle. Issued in the Emperor's second year of reign, this large-sized multiple Ducat is rare in any condition, and especially so as fine as the present piece. Fully uncirculated, with bright luster apparent throughout the recesses of the design and touches of orange-gold patina accenting the flan. The designation of "Obverse Graffiti" undoubtedly refers to the engraved "5" that appears in the central field to the right of the portrait, a designation of value that is almost certainly contemporary and may be considered relatively insignificant.
