Minted from gold from the Ädelfors mine in the province of Småland. A piece that is wholly Choice and worthy of much adulation, this Ducat is brightly lustered, with a glowing sheen that charms and appeals. Some slight peripheral weakness is noted, with an area of flatness near 9 o'clock on the obverse rims. A most beautiful example with only a handful known in private collections.
