Leopold I gold 5 Ducat 1703-NB UNC Details (Plugged) NGC, Nagybanya mint (in Transylvania), KM-A257, Fr-134 (mislabeled on the holder as Fr-103), Husz-1295 (R12), Unger-977b, Resch-Unl., CNA-114-a-2. 17.05gm. Johann Christian Brettschneider as mintmaster. Struck from Taler dies (cf. KM257). Date reworked from 1702. An iconic commemorative that was treasured for its status, leading many examples to suffer from damage caused by mounting and piercing. Even though the current selection shows traces of a repair near 12 o'clock, this does little to disturb the visual appeal or surrounding surfaces of the coin as a whole. The strike over both sides has been well-executed, with no traces of weakness detected, while the lustrous surfaces are free of noteworthy, post-strike imperfections. To date, only a single example has been awarded a straight grade from NGC, with this piece reportedly tied with one other for the second finest-certified by that service. For reference, the last representative of the date we sold, graded AU Details (Holed), achieved $9,600 in our January 2020 Auction #3081, confirming the high level of desirability for this type in all states of preservation.
