AUSTRIA. Salzburg. 1200th Anniversary of the Archbishopric Gold Medal of 6 Ducats Weight, 1782. Vienna Mint. Hieronymus Graf Colloredo von Wallsee und Melz. NGC MS-63★ Prooflike.
Fr-885; KM-448; cf. Probszt-2397 (2 Ducats); Zottl-3129; cf. NAC 28, lot 910 (12 Ducats). By F. Matzenkopf. Weight: 20.88 gms. Obverse: Mantled bust right, wearing zuchetto; Reverse: Radiant light within frontal hexastyle church facade. EXCEPTIONALLY RARE and majestic, this supremely shimmering and glistening multiple Ducat-weight issue should undoubtedly generate tremendous enthusiasm from the collectors of Austrian RARITIES and advanced world gold more broadly. While the single Ducat strikings are encountered with some frequency, those that are larger are almost never available, with this cataloger able to locate no other examples of the module presented here as selling publicly over the prior two decades, and just a sole specimen at the 12 Ducat size in 2005.
Estimate: $40000 - $60000
