German States
Prussia. Friedrich II gold 2 Frederick d'Or 1750-A AU58 NGC, Berlin mint, KM261, Fr-2378. An enormously pleasing and conditionally extremely rare selection, this double Frederick d'Or offers a wonderfully expressive bust of Friedrich II. The overall impression when viewed in hand is that of high quality, starting from the well-formed legends outlined in full clarity to the crisp depth of the Trophy of Arms on the reverse. Highly covetable in this top-ranked technical grade, and we anticipate avid interest from collectors of German States' gold coinage.
Frederick II of Prussia, known as Frederick the Great, significantly expanded Prussian territory through his military successes, most notably in the Silesian Wars against Austria, which established Prussia as a major European power. He was also a patron of the arts and an enlightened monarch who implemented significant legal and administrative reforms, promoting religious tolerance, economic development, and the advancement of science and culture within his kingdom.
