Hamburg. Free City gold "Peace of Amiens" Medal of 10 Ducats 1802-Dated MS61 NGC, Gaed-1992, Vogel-8825. 42mm. 32.73gm. By A. Abramson. On the Treaty of Amiens, ending hostilities between Britain and France during the French Revolutionary Wars. A charming and subtly Prooflike striking produced to commemorate a short-lived peace where hostilities would be reignited during the Napoleonic Wars. Seemingly a weight that does not come to auction with any regularity, this Portugalöser further holds the accolade of being the sole example yet certified by NGC, and the first we have offered.
