1705 Franz Rakoczi Ducat Attractive "Palm Ducat" Type
Franz Rakoczi gold Ducat 1705-KV, Klausenburg mint. KM#530, Fr-478, AU55 NGC. Minted at Kolovar. Obv. Crowned cartouche with coat of arms of Transylvania with Rakoczi arms atop. Rev. Palm tree surrounded by three hills, K-V and date divided. Struck during the revolt against Austria by Franz Rakoczi, and it was affectionately termed a "Palm Ducat" because of the focal design. One of the more impressive types of this period. The latin legend, "TANDEM OPPRESSA RESVRGET", loosely translated, "though pressed, he rises", confirms this symbolism. The present example, one of only three or four to appear publicly in the past decade, is particularly choice for the assigned grade, with even orange-gold surfaces, no visible abrasive contact and barely a wisp of slight friction on the highpoints. The strike, while not completely full, doesn't obscure intended detail and naturally gives a semi-undulating appearance in the design-free areas. All in all, a rare example of this impressive type that yields a wonderfully story and visually leaves little to be desired.
