German States
Frankfurt. Free City 2 Gulden 1854 MS66 NGC, Frankfurt am Main mint, KM333, Dav-642, Thun-132. Mintage: 6,028. Far and away the key date for the series, carrying a mintage figure 50,000 pieces below the previous year, and 30,000 below the next (1856). Gorgeously toned in champagne shades that frame peach and cornflower shades in the centers, particularly on the reverse, this is amazingly the second example we have offered in this grade, the other also reportedly stemming from the Brand Collection (likely Part 4, lot 4408); this is, however, clearly the superior of the two.
Ex. Virgil Brand Collection, Part 5 (Leu Numismatik Auction 70, October 1997, Lot 6643) From the Cape Coral Collection of German Coins, Part I
