Sensational Mint State Leopold I 5 Ducat

Leopold I gold 5 Ducat 1675-GC MS61 NGC, Pressburg mint, KM199 (Rare), Fr-156, Horsky-Unl., Husz-1299 (R17), Unger-980, CNA-41-l-2. 17.47gm. Georg Cetto as mintmaster. A piece of paramount rarity within the Leopold I series, this 5 Ducat issue is perhaps the second example to have come to market in the last two decades; we note that a similar example recently emerged in a European auction in September 2019, where it hammered for €165,000 (Auction 50, Lot 5035). As if the scarcity of this issue was not enough, the present example possesses an extraordinarily striking aesthetic--upon rotation under light, the surfaces positively gleam, each facet of the ornate design brightened by sparkles of golden brilliance. A pinnacle representative of the ubiquitous Madonna and Child design, and sure to attract much attention from collectors of Hungarian rarities.
