HUNGARY. St. George/Christ & Apostles Gold Medal of 10 Ducats Weight, ND (ca. mid-late 17th Century). Kremnica Mint. PCGS AU-58.
Fr-565; cf. Huszar-42 (silver). After C. H. Roth. Diameter: 44mm. Obverse: St. George on horse rearing right, spearing dragon below; Reverse: Christ and the Apostles in ship upon tempestuous seas. A larger format example of this popular type struck in gold and silver, to differing weights, throughout the centuries, the present piece offers great relief and tremendous original brilliance, along with an enticing golden-orange allure that deepens around the peripheries. Displaying essentially no evidence of handling, we expect much fierce competition of this wonderful medallic issue.
Estimate: $15000 - $20000
