3621. Lot 30095

描述:: Saxe-Gotha. Johann Ernst gold Ducat 1638-EF, KM180, Fr-2945, MS63 NGC. Coburg Mint. A desirable jewel with invigorating luster that sparkles on both sides. An impressive strike precisely renders all the intricate detail upon the slightly off-round flan. Light debris at the legends serves to confirm complete originality; some die clashing (as made) to the right of Johann Ernst's portrait leaves a ghosted outline of some of the reverse detail. Without a doubt, one of the finest survivors of this scarce and desirable two-year type. Ex: ?Colonel? E.H.R. Green; Green Estate? Partnership of Eric P Newman / B.G. Johnson. Realized $9,400.00.

3623. Lot 30094

描述:: Saxe-Eisenach. Johann Wilhelm gold Ducat 1716, KM-59, Fr-2917, Merseb.-4082, MS61 NGC. Obv. Four Crowned cruciform JW monograms with small coat of arms. Rev. Crane. An extremely rare, one-year type, and the finest of only two examples that we can trace (including this piece). Johann Wilhelm was Duke of Saxe-Eisenach and came from the Ernestine branch of the House of Wettin. Ex: ?Colonel? E.H.R. Green; Green Estate? Partnership of Eric P Newman / B.G. Johnson. Realized $12,925.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

3624. Lot 30093

描述:: Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. Ernst I gold Ducat 1842, KM72, Fr-2915, MS61 NGC. Mintage of 508. Struck in Dresden, this coin shows knife-like detail within in the central design and retained prooflike splendor among the protected areas. Light, well-blended handling in the open fields accounts for the grade, but the eye-appeal remains quite pleasing. Seldom offered and in constant collector demand. Ex: ?Colonel? E.H.R. Green; Green Estate? Partnership of Eric P Newman / B.G. Johnson. Realized $5,287.50. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

3626. Lot 30092

描述:: Saxe-Altenburg. Duke Friedrich Wilhelm III gold 10 Ducats 1672, KM-unlisted, Fr-2913, AU58 NGC. This example is well defined, considering the multiple die strikes, with a slightly irregular flan and traces of original luster remaining. Struck with the Double Taler dies as Davenport 7408. The obverse shows a bust of the young Duke facing right, while the reverse has a twelve-line inscription within a beaded circle. This is an exceedingly rare issue, with no listing in Krause and no picture in Friedberg, where it lists the value merely as Very Rare. Davenport pictures the Double Taler, which is identical in type to this piece. We can find no other record of sale of this type, and we doubt that more than one or two others exist. Friedrich Wilhelm III, the second son of Friedrich Wilhelm II, became heir to the duchy of Saxe-Altenburg on the passing of his older brother Christian in 1663. His father died in 1669, making him duke at the age of twelve. Friedrich's uncles, Johann Georg II of Saxony, and Duke Maurice of Saxe-Zeitz became his guardians, and regents of the duchy. Three years later, Friedrich died of smallpox, and the Saxe-Altenburg line ended. The duchy was subsequently split between his relatives. Realized $105,750.00.

3628. Lot 30091

描述:: Saxe-Altenburg. Friedrich Wilhelm II gold Ducat 1642, Fr-2908, XF40 NGC. Obv. Armored bust right. Rev. Arms with divided date below 16-42. A rather crudely struck issue with an irregular flan. This issue was struck in four years, 1640-42, and 1644. We can find several examples sold from each of the years 1640, 1641, and 1644, but no record of sale of the year of this piece, 1642. Very rare. Ex: ?Colonel? E.H.R. Green; Green Estate? Partnership of Eric P Newman / B.G. Johnson. Realized $3,525.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

3630. Lot 30090

描述:: Saxe-Altenburg. Johann Philipp & Friedrich Wilhelm II gold 2 Ducats 1638-MR, Saalfeld mint, KM349, Fr-2905, AU50 NGC. A charming type with a semi-cartoonish, yet skillfully rendered portrait of Johann Philipp facing right on the obverse with his and his brother's titles around the legends. The reverse, in typical format, holds the arms, with the date and initials of mint-master Martin Reimann (MR) divided. Incredibly rare, we have been able to locate a single other public sale for the type in the last 14 years - sold by German auctioneer Kunker in 2012 for 5,500 Euros. When comparing the condition of the two, the present coin is clearly the finer, with the strike showing much bolder throughout and leaving no areas of considerable weakness. The present coin's originality is also admirable with rich lustrous surfaces that hold vibrant orange color. Minor encrustation that haloes the devices, and is particularly noticeable within the reverse arms, ensures absolute originality. Altogether, an impressive rarity with considerable eye appeal. Very possibly the finest known. Ex: ?Colonel? E.H.R. Green; Green Estate? Partnership of Eric P Newman / B.G. Johnson. Realized $14,100.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.
