Selections from the Eric P. Newman Collection of World Coins. Sigismund Bathory gold Ducat 1593, Hermannstadt mint, Fr-295, AU55 NGC. A bright gold ducat on a slightly wavy planchet. There is noticeable luster left in protected areas and a few light marks appear on the surfaces. The portrait of St. Ladislaus is a little crude for the type, however both sides retain excellent detail.
