Swedish Possessions
Riga. Christina gold Ducat 1644-HW, KM36, Fr-10, VF Details. An extremely rare Ducat, this example is rather unfortunately a little the worse for wear. It appears to have been broken from a mount after having been worn as jewelry for quite some time in the past, although it is now toned. The obverse fields have been tooled and there is a long planchet flaw cutting across the reverse design. Nonetheless, it is uncommon for an example of this type in any grade to cross the block more than once every few years, making this an opportunity for the type collector of Swedish Possessions.
Estimate: 1500-2500 USD
