Salzburg. Paris of Lodron gold 10 Ducat 1628 MS61 PCGS, KM132, Fr-729, Probszt-1045, Zöttl-1249. 34.73gm. Struck upon the consecration of the Salzburg Cathedral by Archbishop Paris von Lodron on September 25, 1628. A design we usually encounter with much greater frequency on silver issues or smaller gold denominations from Paris of Lodron's substantial 30+ year appointment, and a type that is instantly recognized by collectors of the Salzburg series. An absolutely magnificent specimen that has, rather miraculously, avoided the issues commonly encountered with these large-surfaced gold pieces; it is free from graffiti or residue and the flan is unbent - allowing the gloriously glimmering amber-gold surfaces host the sharply defined motifs to their fullest impact. Certainly a great rarity without any conditional modifiers and in Mint State, and we anticipate elevated bidder enthusiasm from conditionally discriminating collectors. Comes with an old dealer ticket and envelope.
Ex. Salton Collection
Archbishop Paris of Lodron was an able administrator and politician. He succeeded in keeping Salzburg out of the Thirty Years' War. He also completed the new cathedral (except for the towers), and on September 25, 1628 the inauguration took place, including the transfer of the remains of St. Rupert and St. Virgil to their new resting place, as shown on the coins of that date.
