GERMANY. Bavaria. 5 Ducats, 1640. Munich Mint. Maximilian I. PCGS MS-63 Gold Shield.
Fr-196; KM-268. Weight: 17.31 gms. Type with lower, divided date. A lovely high grade example in an early die state, featuring finely engraved devices with interesting depth and texture that closely resembles that of a medal. Clearly done by a skilled hand with much experience. The open areas and crevasses are bright and flashy, presenting charming cartwheel luster, while the color overall verges upon a delightful golden-orange. Seemingly without issue, the assigned grade would appear to be a bit conservative, making this a premium-quality piece for sure.
Estimate: $20000 - $30000
