SWEDEN. Ducat, 1771. Stockholm Mint. Gustav III. NGC MS-64.
Fr-74; KM-510; SM-1(1); SG-1; Hagander-484; Bruun-13087. Weight: 3.47 gms. Mintmaster: Albrekt Lindberg (AL). Engraver: Carl Gustaf Fehrman. An EXTREMELY RARE Ducat with a mintage of 2,255, most of which were melted down; this example is the only such of this date certified by NGC. Given its already lofty status, this Ducat would be desirable in any grade, however this specimen goes beyond a mere average example, being exceptionally detailed in near-Gem preservation. Sharply struck and well-detailed, the tiny traces of friction are worth only a passing mention, leaving this as a most deserving representative of numerous premium bids.
