BELGIUM. Flanders. Cavalier d'Or, ND (1434-54). Ghent Mint. Philippe le Bon. PCGS MS-64.
Fr-183; Delm-487. Weight: 3.63 gms. Obverse: Knight on horseback galloping right and brandishing sword; Reverse: Burgundian arms overtop of cross fleuree. The highest graded example by PCGS, this piece appears nearly as fresh today as it did when first produced, possessing sparkling luster that results from natural surface texture rendered by the dies. Placed on a perfectly round flan as well, the details are sharply struck, with no area of weakness observed. For the type collector that seeks fully original items in superb quality, this superb piece should stand out.
Estimate: $4000 - $6000
