3681. Lot 30064

描述:: Brunswick-Luneburg-Calenberg-Hannover. George II August Harz-gold Ducat 1747-S, KM299, Fr-602, AU58 NGC. One-year type. A historic issue that was struck with the titles of George II as King of Great Britain, France and Ireland from gold that was mined at the Harz Mountains in northern Germany. A bright yellow-gold specimen, the surfaces remain pleasingly original with microscopic die striations (as made) that add shimmer to the appearance. The strike, often a concern on ducats of this period, has been sharply executed on a broad flan and leaves little to the imagination. A truly rare and enticing example. As with so many other coins from the Newman collection, our research has not located any sales records in the past decade. Ex: ?Colonel? E.H.R. Green; Green Estate? Partnership of Eric P Newman / B.G. Johnson. Realized $7,050.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

3685. Lot 30062

描述:: Breslau. Karl Ferdinand of Poland Octagonal Klippe gold 3 Ducats 1653, KM78, Fr-510, MS63 NGC. An incredibly rare emission that is confirmed after consulting Kazimierz Wonsik's volumes of compiled records for German coin auction prices realized. We did not find a single example selling in the past decade. Further digging yields the same - an octagonal ducat of this type (including the 1632-dated examples) appears not to have sold publicly for at least 10 years. Not only does the present piece have rarity on its side, but its appearance also carries substantial merit. For obvious reasons, octagonal issues have long caught the collector's eye, as they boldly stand out against round issues. This desirable multi-sided construction has also clearly long been handled with care. The strike has been boldly pressed and the result reveals knife-like sharpness within Karl Ferdinand's hair strands - even the texture of his shirt is fully rendered! The reverse crowned arms also remain full. The fields, as is often the case for low-mintage strikings, hold prooflike qualities with delicate tone scattered about. One mark blends into Karl Ferdinand's cheek, but no other incidence of contact is noted. All told, one of the crown jewels in this fabulous collection and among the most distinctive. Breslau, situated along the Oder River in Lower Silesia, was first settled under Bohemian control in the 10th century. Vital for its placement along several trade routes, the city over time passed through the control of Poland, the Austrian Empire, Prussia and Germany. During 17th century, while under occupation by Saxon and Swedish troops, the city was a focal point of the Counter-Reformation, and the Austrian emperor encouraged Catholic settlement in Breslau. Much of the city's present-day feel can be attributed to this period of growth. During the period in which the present coin was struck, Breslau operated as a Bishopric, with right to coin being held by the Bishop. Today, Breslau, now known as Wroclaw, is the largest city in western Poland and has a population over 600,000. Ex: ?Colonel? E.H.R. Green; Green Estate? Partnership of Eric P Newman / B.G. Johnson.

3689. Lot 30060

描述:: Breslau. Balthasar of Promnitz gold Ducat 1545, Fr-476, F&S-2532, AU Details (Bent) NGC. Obv. Titles of Balthasar and arms. Rev. St. John standing, facing, with book and lamb in his left hand. An extremely rare and seldom offered type. NGC has given this a net grade because of the wavy flan. Actually, it is not unusual to see wavy flans in these very thin pre-1600 ducats. This example exhibits full, brilliant, mint luster with no traces of wear, or even slight rubbing on the high points. The surfaces are completely free of significant marks, and even with the wavy flan, we doubt you will see a nicer specimen of this elusive type. Realized $6,168.75.
