Description

POLAND. Danzig. Ducat, 1658. John Casimir. PCGS MS-62.

Fr-24; KM-41.2; H-C-2104; Kop-7659 (R4). Mintmaster's initials are those of Daniel Lesse who served at Danzig between 1656-1685. Absolutely phenomenal, this RARE example of a John Casimir Ducat is among the finest ever graded. It is the best example that PCGS has ever certified, and is tied with several NGC examples for the second best, with one grading higher at MS-63. Playing host to a crisp strike, the rich detail in the portrait of John Casimir is well illuminated. An almost cameo nature besets this specimen, with dark and entrancing fields. There is some light marking in the fields that is almost impossible to see with the naked eye, and that does nothing to detract from the stunning eye appeal of this coin.

From the Mark and Lottie Salton Collection.
