Hamburg. Free City gold 2 Ducat 1799, with titles of Franz II, KM506.1, Fr-1135, MS63 NGC. Gently handled but very flashy, this multiple ducat is quite pleasing. Of smaller module than previous issues, this is the penultimate type struck before the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire by Napoleon in 1806, the final issue differing only in the style of the Imperial Eagle.
