Switzerland
Bern. City gold 8 Ducat 1796 MS62 Prooflike NGC, KM157, Fr-174, HMZ-2-205e, Divo-465a, Wunderly-Unl. 27.63gm. Of inspiring quality for this rare and desirable type, with an abundance of Prooflike reflectivity flooding the fields in a luminous embrace of the devices. Throughout, the designs are expressed to near-medallic precision, with the shield sharply outlined and surrounded by equally crisp legends and an ornate border, these acting in concert to frame the central motifs. Sun-gold luster illuminates the surfaces at every angle, which, together with a minimum of discernible handling for the grade, renders this mirrorlike near-choice candidate a compelling one for any high-end type collection of Swiss or world gold.
