Switzerland
Basel. Canton silver "Hen" Medal ND (c. 1650) MS64 NGC, SM-1164. 27mm. 5.83gm. Exceptionally well-preserved for the type, and likely one of the finest survivors in existence with the eye appeal to match! A sparkling sheen of luster to both faces is enhanced by a pervasive electric blue obverse iridescence, while the city view of Basel is gorgeously framed in bright touches of fiery gold, amber, and cerulean accents at the extremities.
Ex. Sincona Auction 57 (May 2019, Lot 4145)
