SWEDEN. Erfurt. Ducat, 1632-IS. Erfurt Mint. Gustav II Adolf. NGC Unc Details--Obverse Damage.
Fr-919; KM-63; SB-11a; SG-55; Hagander-cf. 99; Bruun Auction-920; Bruun-11873. Weight: 3.42 gms. Mintmaster: Johann Schneider. An absolutely marvelous portrait adorns this Ducat; expertly cut dies and a precise strike shows off an abundance of wonderful details. The discreet mintmark hides in the obverse legend as a conjoined 'IS' just over the king's head. A true gem regardless of the tiny nick (testmark) before the portrait.
From the L. E. Bruun Collection.
Ex: Leopold W. von Wellenheim Collection (Vienna - 1846), Lot# 10110.
Estimate: €2000 - €3000
