描述:: Prussia. Friedrich Wilhelm & Sophia Dorothea gold Ducat 1706-HFH, Magdeburg mint, Fr-2314, MS61 NGC. A lustrous and boldly struck specimen with full definition from the legends to the central hair curls on the conjoined busts. As can be seen on nearly all surviving examples, the flan undulates gently with the largest appearance being evident in the field just to the left of the obverse portraits. A small rim imperfection at 12:00 (likely as struck) is the only visual disruption that catches the eye. A popular type that was struck to commemorate the marriage between Prince (later King) Friedrich Wilhelm and Sophie Dorothea, Princess of Hannover on November 28, 1706. Realized $5,875.00.

描述:: Paderborn. Wilhelm Anton gold 5 Talers 1767 AS, KM244, MS63 NGC. The only collectible date of this brief two-year emission, and even so, seldom offered. The few pieces for which we can locate auction records are always in average circulated condition. But this incredible example is well struck, with gleaming luster and reflective surfaces. It is quite possibly the finest known of the type. Paderborn, a city in Westphalia, derives its name from the river Pader that originates in the city. Ex: ?Colonel? E.H.R. Green; Green Estate? Partnership of Eric P Newman / B.G. Johnson. Realized $8,225.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

描述:: Nurnberg. Free Imperial City gold Ducat 1806-KR, KM416, Fr-1919, MS64 Deep Prooflike NGC. A stunning example of this rare one-year type. The fields are fully mirrored, the strike bold, and the overall appearance amazing for a gold coin of this era. The obverse exhibits a wonderful view of the city of Nurnberg, and the reverse has the Pascal Lamb, as often seen on earlier coins of Nurnberg. Realized $9,400.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

描述:: Munster. Christoph Bernhard gold Ducat 1678, KM92, Fr-1776, AU50 NGC. Obv. Crowned coat of arms of Christoph Bernhard. Rev. 5-line Latin inscription that translates as: Elected 14 November 1650 / Died 19 September 1678 at the age of 73. An attractive specimen with rich orange-gold color. Delicate rub on the highpoints fails to have any effect on the design legibility. The strike is well centered on a slightly out-of-round flan with some peripheral doubling on the obverse, but a bold singular inscription on the reverse. A commemorative issue struck in the year of Prince-Bishop of Munster Christoph Bernhard von Galen's death. Amazingly, the 6 Ducat version of the type appears more frequently on the market, a telling fact about the true rarity of this denomination. Ex: ?Colonel? E.H.R. Green; Green Estate? Partnership of Eric P Newman / B.G. Johnson. Realized $19,975.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

描述:: Mansfeld-Bornstedt. Franz Maximilian & Heinrich Franz gold Ducat 1687, KM135, Fr-1573, AU58 NGC. One-year type. A wonderful illustration ducat with a skilled rendering of Saint George on horseback slaying a dragon on the obverse, and crowned arms encircled by the Order of the Golden Fleece on the reverse. A rather desirable example, this coin has bright orange-gold surfaces and above-average central definition as a result of the penetrating strike. Ideal for the ducat collector, or even perhaps even the British collector that finds interest in the paralleled imagery. Realized $3,055.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.
