Transylvania
Selections from the Eric P. Newman Collection of World Coins. Sigismund Bathory gold Ducat 1593, Neustadt mint, Fr-297, AU50 NGC. Struck in a much finer style than the Hermannstadt issues, this example displays a little weakness in areas on a lightly undulating flan. Typical of many examples of this type, the first "S" in Sigismund's title is backward. The protected areas in the legends display considerable luster.
Estimate: 1500-2000 USD
