GERMANY. Regensburg. Ducat, ND (1745-65). PCGS MS-62 Gold Shield.
Fr-2538; KM-306. Bright throughout, this Mint State example features an ornate bust of Holy Roman Emperor Francis I surrounded by extremely coarse dentils around the edges. The reverse design, depicting the city of Regensburg, is the reason for this Ducat's enduring popularity however, as the complex rendering transcends numismatics and enters the realm of art. In this grade, which is tied for the finest seen by PCGS, a coin that is sure to inspire significant bidder competition.
Estimate: $4000 - $5000
