3781. Lot 30014

描述:: Felipe IV Royal Cob 8 Reales 1657 P-E, KM-R21, Lazaro-149, AU Details (Plugged) NGC. A marvelous representative of this intensely collected "Royal," or presentation, type. The fields showcase a uniform deep gray coloration, while the higher devices and lettering are lighter and add mild contrast. The strike remains incredibly bold with limited central doubling. Perhaps most impressive, the flan is incredibly broad, even for a "Royal" strike, with most of the legends remaining bold and three dates being entirely legible. This example was once holed, as most were, at 12:00 and later skillfully plugged as two green dots on corresponding sides of the flan are faintly visible. Still, rarely available in this quality and a certain prize for the specialist. Realized $8,225.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

3783. Lot 30013

描述:: Karel I (Emperor Karl IV) von Luxemburg (1346-78) Goldgulden ND, Kuttenberg mint, Fr-2, AU55 NGC. + KAROLVS o D ? ?I o GRACIA, crowned and mantled half bust of king facing, holding scepter and imperial orb / + ROMAnORVM : ?T + BO?MI? o R?X, Bohemian lion rampant double-queued left. Lightly toned with scattered red patination and a speck of encrustation beneath the lion's outstretched leg. The strike on this example is excellent, with a wonderful portrait of the king. The left side of the flan appears slightly ragged on the reverse, although this does not translate clearly to the obverse. As the result of an alliance between his father (John the Blind) and Pope Clement VI, Karel was the first king of Bohemia to be elected Holy Roman Emperor. 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.

3785. Lot 30012

描述:: Liege - Prince-Bishopric. Sede Vacante gold Ducat 1724, KM132, Fr-332, AU53 NGC. An exceedingly rare piece issued by the Belgian city of Liege during the period of Sede Vacante. Sede Vacante (Vacant Seat) is the period of time after the death or resignation of the Bishop and before the naming of the new Bishop (Prince-Bishop in the case of Liege). Sharply struck, with minor obverse flan flaws. The obverse shows a bust of Saint Lambert, patron of the city of Liege, facing left, and the reverse has crowned and mantled arms. We can find no record of this coin at auction. The tiny mintage of 200 pieces signifies a rare opportunity for collectors. Ex: ?Colonel? E.H.R. Green; Green Estate? Partnership of Eric P Newman / B.G. Johnson. Realized $11,456.25. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

3789. Lot 30010

描述:: Salzburg. Markus Sittikus Graf von Hohenems gold 14 Ducats 1612, KM-unlisted, Fr-700 (listed only as Rare), Probszt-unlisted, AU58 NGC. Obv. Leftward facing bust in clerical garment. Rev. Oval arms below legate's hat with St. Rupert and St. Vergilius facing at sides. A massive multi-ducat issue that, despite the certain complications of production, was made to a master's specifications. While being bold, the engraving maintains delicacy, and the strike rises to virtual completeness. Diagonal reeding adds a nice touch to the overall feel. The surfaces show even handling in the form of minor ticks throughout, and point to this piece, albeit for a short period, filling a commercial role. One hint to this fact lies in the tiny etching of "XIIII" just before the reverse legends, a certain quick-identifier of this, even at the time, very rare denomination. This coin is a complete enigma of a type; it's a type that seems to have avoided numismatic plating for at least a half century. Further adding to the mystery, while smaller ducats of similarity (same legends and design composition) are shown to exist, the lone plated examples we have been able to locate are of the 4 Ducat size. These show Markus Sittikus on the obverse facing right, instead of the more stylized leftward facing portrait on the current example. Given the absent notation of this major design difference in previous catalogs, we must question if the present example has ever been numismatically classified. Whatever the case, we don't hesitate to call the current offering "once in a lifetime," as this unique, or nearly so, gold coin is certain to land in a cabinet of the highest sophistication. In 1612, Markus Sittikus Graf von Hohenems (born in 1574) was elected Archbishop of Salzburg after his cousin, Wolf Dietrich Raitenaus, was deposed. Wolf Dietrich was thereafter imprisoned in the Hohensalzburg Fortrees. Sittikus died in 1619; his primary legacy consists of the numerous Baroque architectural projects that helped shape the feel and style of the city. Ex: ?Colonel? E.H.R. Green; Green Estate? Partnership of Eric P Newman / B.G. Johnson. Realized $211,500.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.
