Ferdinand I gold Proof "Salvator Mundi" Medal of 13 Ducats ND (post-1843) Proof Details (Removed From Jewelry) NGC, cf. Forrer-297 (for engraver). 42mm. By K. Lange. SALVATOR MVNDI Nimbate bust of Christ facing left // SVB VMBRA ALARVM TVARVM City view of Vienna; in exergue MVNVS / REIPVBLICAE / VIENENSIS. An always collectible type and one that we've seen with greater frequency and fanfare in recent years, especially in this larger-format issue. Blessed with a sensitively engraved bust of Christ as "Savior of the World" to the obverse and a particularly refined city view of Vienna, struck with enough depth to render each face nearly lifelike. Despite having previously been mounted and removed from jewelry, the flashy golden resplendence remains true, leaving an impression of visual balance and quality that make this offering a highly collectible example of its type.
