Regensburg. Free City gold "Reichstag" Medal of 9 Ducats 1641 UNC Details (Repaired) NGC, Montenuovo-811, Plato-88, Catalogue de monnois en or du Cabinet Imperial-60. 30.96gm. By Hans Gebhard (?). With the name and titles of Ferdinand III. Commemorating the opening of the Reichstag in 1641. Obv. Crowned bust of Ferdinand III. Rev. Four-line inscription, and date, in a circle of the coats-of-arms of the seven electors. Struck on the Imperial Diet at Regensburg in 1641, where the Imperial Estates met to negotiate peace in the Thirty Years' War, a precursor to the negotiations later taking place at Münster and Osnabrück, that culminated in the final signing of the Peace of Westphalia in 1648. A very rare medallic issue with an appearance easily described as nothing less than exceptional. Sharp and lustrous, with a resounding and visually compelling tangerine and sunset-gold tone draped over the surfaces. Possibly repaired to the edge, though this is not visible in the current holder placement.
