Selections from the Eric P. Newman Collection of World Coins. Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld. Franz Josias gold 1/4 Ducat 1752, KM51, Fr-3012, MS61 NGC. A lovely little piece, with very good eye appeal and only a few minor deposits on the reverse. This is a very rare coin, and far superior to the only other example sold in the last decade (Kunker 160, lot 4971, hammer at 900 euros).Ex: "Colonel" E.H.R. Green; Green Estate' Partnership of Eric P Newman / B.G. Johnson.
