收集细节

描述:: Ferdinand Charles gold 2 Ducats ND (1632-62), Hall mint, KM789, Fr-242, AU Details (Mount Removed) NGC. Ornately engraved with the obverse detailing a portrait of long-haired Ferdinand Charles in formal garment with the Order of the Golden Fleece around his neck. On the reverse sits a Tyrolean eagle. Labeled "excessively rare" on Newman's envelope and apparently accurate still, as a search yields no other recently sold examples. The present piece, certainly used as an ornamental decoration in the past, was heavily cleaned at one time with muted luster as a result and a delicate reddish tone residing around the protected areas. Despite the obvious imperfections, all the crucial detail remains pleasingly sharp, and for the seeker of absolute rarity, this qualifying example would certainly be an admirable and important collection addition. Realized $5,287.50. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

描述:: Archduke Leopold gold Ducat ND (1619)-CO, Hall mint, KM246, Fr-186, UNC Details (Surface Hairlines) NGC. A ducat of great rarity, this example is the finest we could find in our research. The surfaces have very unfortunately been scratched throughout the fields. Without a glass, the scratches appear almost as die-polishing lines. This ducat was issued upon Leopold's inheritance of Further Austria and the Tirol after the death of Archduke Maximilian. This great rarity will demand a strong bid. Realized $4,406.25.

描述:: Ferdinand I gold Siege of Vienna Klippe Ducat 1529, Vienna mint, Fr-22, XF Details (Tooled) NGC. A very scarce example of gold siege issues, this example displays an above-average strike for the type with light circulation on an unbent flan. The tooling referred to by NGC is evident throughout the fields on both sides. These ducats were issued during the Ottoman Siege of Vienna from September through October of 1529. The illness and lack of supplies in the Ottoman camp caused them to risk an all-out assault on October 12th, but they were beaten back by the city's defenders. This siege halted Ottoman expansion into Central Europe, forcing them to focus their expansion into the Mediterranean, culminating decades later in the Siege of Malta. Realized $4,700.00.

描述:: La Rioja. Republic gold 8 Escudos 1832/1 RA-P, KM21, MS62 NGC. While encountered from time to time with evidence of circulation or significant impairment, unqualified Uncirculated examples of this type are truly scarce with demand that easily outpaces the supply. The current specimen maintains full, thick luster; soft reddish highlights at the obverse borders add to the character. The strike, a frequent concern for this issue, is better than most, with the arms on the reverse being just short of fully crisp. While several light ticks are apparent, most notably outside the sun's rays at 11:00 on the obverse and above the date on the reverse, neither instance overwhelms the eye. A classic issue and a coin that epitomizes South American gold during its period of fledgling republics. Realized $18,212.50. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.
