HUNGARY. 5 Ducats, 1702-ICB NB. Nagybanya (Baia Mare) Mint. Leopold I. NGC AU Details--Holed, Scratched.
Fr-134; KM-A257; Huszar-1294. Weight: 16.96 gms. A VERY RARE and immensely impressive multiple Ducat issue struck from Taler dies, this type was often highly prized on account of its sized and, as such, utilized as a rather exceptional piece of jewelry. Not surprisingly, most of the examples encountered generally exhibit some form of damage as a result of their time in jewelry. Here, that damage presents itself in the form of a hole at the top for suspension. Additionally, there are some light scratches in the obverse field, though both of these aspects can be easily overlooked as they are quite de rigueur for this mostly unobtainable type.
