Bavaria. Maximilian I gold 5 Ducat 1640 MS64 NGC, Munich mint, KM268, Fr-196. 17.4gm. Variety with continuous date above city-view. Commemorating the completion of new fortifications around Munich. An engaging and highly coveted single-year type boasting aesthetics that instantly impress, immediately revealing glistening, honeyed surfaces produced to exact calculation. Despite a slightly off-center strike, the cataloger feels this adds to the piece's visual intrigue, elevating an already advanced aesthetic character afforded by an MS64 assignment. With only four occupants at NGC besting the current specimen, we expect an elevated bidder response. HID09801242017 © 2023 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved
