A Very Rare Multiple Ducat of Sigismund Rákóczi
Sigismund Rákóczi gold 10 Ducats 1607, KM#44, Fr-323, AU55 NGC. A stunning example of this type. The strike is well-executed on a broad flan with only one minor, visible flaw at 5 o'clock on the obverse. Slight doubling is noted in the legends of the upper-left obverse quadrant and a couple of tiny nicks are present in the obverse fields, remarkably few for gold coin of this size and age. Luster remains in protected areas, particularly on the reverse dated in Roman numerals around a verse eschewing the mercy of God.
