Regensburg. Free City gold 10 Ducat ND (1765-1790)-B AU Details (Mounted, Tooled, Countermarked) NGC, Fr-2556a, Beckenb-Addendum p. 7, 220, X. 35.66gm. Design signatures indicating work from Johann Leonhard Oexlein and Georg Christoph Busch. This is a wonderfully unique item, likely a child's baptismal gift, that was turned into a pendant and stamped with the date "1807", using a "city view" 10 Ducat from Regensburg (under the title of Joseph II). A perfect item for those collectors who specialize in unique numismatic curiosities. Though the host issue has been altered to be reused for personal celebration, the splendor of this rare large gold piece is still palpable. Ex.
