POLAND. Thorn. 2 Ducats, 1664-HD L. Thorn Mint. Johann Casimir. PCGS MS-63.
Fr-59; KM-45; Hutton-Czapski-2270 (R); Kam-1072; Kop-8362. Initials are for Hans Daniel Lauer, tenant of the Thorn Mint during Swedish occupation. This choice example of the RARE and ever-popular issue from the city of Thorn is the finest example ever certified by PCGS and NGC. Thorn issues of this type appear infrequently at public auction, with only a handful of citations in archived auction results over the past decade. The present example hosts a beautiful strike that renders the intricate details in wonderous fashion. Nothing short of phenomenal, a worthy addition to any collection of Polish hammered gold.
Ex: George Gund III Collection (Stack's 1/2007) Lot #3175.
Estimate: $20000 - $40000
