Bamberg. Philipp Valentin von Rieneck gold 5 Ducat 1657 MS62 NGC, Nürnberg mint, KM-A47 (Rare), Fr-166 (Very Rare), Heller-Unl., Krug-265.01 (citing this coin). 17.35gm. Struck from Taler dies (cf. KM45). Georg Nürnberger as mintmaster. The unique selection of Bamberg multiple ducats within the Paramount Collection, and offered herein, are absolutely exceptional, showcasing the excellent engraving style of the time on ideal canvases. Struck in a distinctively measured and refined style, Philipp Valentin's portrait rises in medallic stature against the open fields. The intricacy of his bust and vestments provide ample crevasses for mint luster, producing a markedly frosty appearance. While scattered wisps likely account for the certification, rub is altogether absent, allowing for a full appreciation of the motifs. Apparently missing from public auction record, we cannot emphasize enough the rare opportunity presented here-a singular chance for bidders to add one of the key rarities of the series to their collection.
