POLAND. Ducat, 1609. Krakow Mint. Sigismund III. PCGS Genuine--Counting Wheel Damage, AU Details.
Fr-82; H-C-7438; Kop-1405 (R8); Dutkowski-16 (R8). This RARE product of the Krakow mint is a piece that rarely reaches the secondary numismatic market. Issues in gold from Krakow are vanishingly hard to find, with almost no trace of these elusive issues in public auction records. This example does bear evidence of an old light cleaning with some hairlines visible under magnification. Nonetheless, this example has much luster remaining and no effacement of details. About as rare as Polish gold issues come, this example is sure to excite. As with most of Salton's Polish gold highlights, this piece originated in a sale from the Frankiewicz Collection that his father Schlessinger sold (9/1930) lot #193.
From the Mark and Lottie Salton Collection.
