Hungary
Matthias II gold "Wedding to Anna of Austria" Medal of 4 Ducats 1611 AU58 NGC, Montenuovo-711, Horsky-Unl., Julius-Unl. 13.87gm. Struck upon Holy Roman Emperor Matthias II's coronation as King of Hungary in Pressburg, and for his wedding to Archduchess Anna of Austria, daughter of his uncle, the Archduke Ferdinand II of Austria. Very rare in gold, with the only other example we could locate in the last two decades selling in a European auction in June of 2015 for a hammer price of 6,000 Euros, despite noted (and easily visible) repairs, scratches, and significantly more wear than the present piece, which displays a firm near-mint condition coupled with glimmering golden luster and an admirable degree of preservation. Unlikely to become available meaningfully finer than this.
