Spanish Netherlands
Flanders. Philip IV of Spain gold Souverain d'Or 1657 MS62 NGC, Bruges mint, KM32, Fr-227. 5.52gm. Produced upon a bright and luminous harvest-gold planchet and punctuated by a firm strike yielding a nearly full expression of the devices throughout, with the legends nearly full to the peripheries. Impressively well-preserved as a type that all too often is witnessed with conditional qualifiers or in poor shape, the example at hand rises well above. Tied for the finest submitted to PCGS with an example we offered in 2014, realizing $3,290.
