Rare and Important Double Ducat POLAND. 2 Ducats (Crown), ND (1674-96). Bromberg Mint. Johann III Sobieski. PCGS Genuine--Repaired, Unc Details. Fr-96; KM-133; Hutton-Czapski-2532; Kop-2007; Gum-2038. Weight: 6.81 gms. Obverse: "IOAN:III D:G:REX POL.M:D:LIT.R:PR."; Reverse: "SOLI DEO LAUS HONOR & GLORIA". This EXTREMELYRAREgold issue, clearly struck in limited quantities, seldom appears on the market and usually with many years or decades between appearances. The strike is bold with evidence of being struck multiple times on a wavy flan and plenty of remaining luster in the protected areas. Close inspection reveals central planchet laminations on both sides and several small scratches in the obverse fields accounts for the details designation. Despite its shortcomings this type is highly desirable in any condition and is sure to add depth to the next collection it enters. It is interesting to note that there are probably only about eight known examples of this issue, four in institutions (Czapski, National Museum in Warsaw, Vienna and the Hermitage). It is our understanding that the famous Polish Numismatic author Marian Gumowski knew of four examples in private collections (Potocki, Sobanski, Mankowski and Czerwinski) though the where abouts of these are unknown to us. Estimate: $25,000 - $50,000. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
