Bavaria. Maximilian I gold 5 Ducat 1640 MS63+ PCGS, Münich mint, KM268, Fr-196, Wittelsbach-807, Hahn-Unl. 17.31gm. Variety with date above. Commemorating the completion of new fortifications around Munich. Obverse depicts Maximilian standing slightly right, fully clad in armor, holding scepter and resting hand upon orb set upon altar to right; all within ornate hallway. Reverse displays Veduta of Münich within the fortifications; above, the Madonna seated facing among the clouds, holding Holy Infant and scepter; cherub to left and right. A fetching commemorative issue capturing ornate designs in their full majesty across a planchet measuring 37mm in diameter. The profusely shimmering, amber-gold fields are laudably supplemented by the breathtakingly vivid imagery. Though a degree of softness in strike can be noted on the highest points, it takes nothing away from the exceptionally pleasing eye-appeal of this scarce Choice Mint State offering. Comes with an old dealer ticket and envelope.
