Wilhelmina gold Ducat 1894 MS67 NGC, Utrecht mint, KM83.1, Fr-352, Schulman-755. A tremendous offering and one that seemingly knows no equal, both in terms of technical preservation and aesthetic caliber. A scarcer date and the first Ducat of Wilhelmina, remaining practically as struck and whose sheer visual appeal propels it into an elite tier. Embellished throughout by a thick satin sheen as the result of a definitive strike, with each engraved device rising in clear contrast again the still, golden canvas beneath. Of the certified populations at both NGC and PCGS from the 16th to mid-20th centuries, only a single other Ducat ranks as fine, the well-represented 1729 issue of Holland, with 105 examples certified. With an impressive pedigree and boundless luster, we anticipate elevated bidder enthusiasm for one of, if not the finest Dutch Ducats.
Ex. R.L. Lissner Collection (CNG-St. James's Auction 29, August 2014, Lot 1627); Purchased privately from M. Louis Teller
