Saxony. Johann Georg I gold "Marriage of Magdalena Sibylla to Christian, Prince-Elector of Denmark" Medal of 10 Ducats 1635 AU58 NGC, cf. Merseburger-1146 (listed only in silver), Dassdorf-772 (composition not stated, though likely silver), Wilmersdörffer-Unl., Grund-W 1635/02. 48mm. 34.53gm. By Paul Welter. Struck for the marriage of Johann Georg's youngest daughter, Magdalena Sibylla, to Crown Prince Christian (son of King Christian IV) of Denmark. A most laudable marriage type, which was apparently absent from the numismatic cabinets of Merseburger, Dassdorf, Wilmersdörffer, and Hede in this metal. The present specimen has been carefully preserved, just a few stray signs of contact and some light friction atop the highest features that preclude a Mint State designation. We have only been able to locate one other example at auction in recent decades, which brought 11,000 Euros in June 2004.
