Description

Salzburg. Paris von Lodron gold 4 Ducat 1628 UNC Details (Mount Removed) NGC, KM124, Fr-737, Probszt-1047. Struck upon the dedication of the Salzburg Cathedral by Archbishop Paris of Lodron on 25 September 1628. ECCLES: METROP • SALISB: DEDICATVR • 25 • SEPT: APARIDE • ARCHIE, facade of Cathedral of Saints Rupert and Vergilius carried by the two saints enthroned in the heavens, date across fields, arms of the archbishop of Salzburg below / (Angel's head?) S S RVPERTVS: ET • VIRGILIVS • PATRONI • TRANSFERVNTVR • 24 • SEPT:, reliquary of the saints carried by 8 bishops, two angels with censer below. An incredibly gratifying offering, evenly patinated to an aged honey-gold with minimal disturbance to the flan overall from the noted mount removal. Despite its details designation, we would note that a mere 2 examples of the type have been awarded Mint State status, making an uncirculated piece such as this a considerable conditional rarity.
