Russia: Peter I gold "Death" Medal 1725-Dated AU50 NGC,...

Description

Diakov Plate Example

Peter I gold "Death" Medal 1725-Dated AU50 NGC, Diakov-63.10 (R4, this medal pictured). 32mm. 13.75gm. This version of Peter the Great's "Death Medal" is roughly of 4 Ducat weight, but is the smallest format of those listed in Diakov. The reverse scene is beautifully depicted, using symbolism to commemorate some of the the Czar's legacies: the expansion of the Russian empire, industrialization, and the promotion of reforms in education, medicine, science, and art. Rarely does any size of this commemorative issue appear on the market in gold, but we could find no other public records of this particular 4 Ducat rendition in recent history. It is the only one of its kind certified by NGC, with none being represented by PCGS. From a close inspection of the plate specimen for this Diakov listing, we feel comfortable noting that the Medal on offer here appears to be that particular piece. Mild wear accompanies this specimen, possibly being carried as a prized memento in someone's pocket roughly three centuries ago. An extraordinary opportunity for Peter the Great enthusiasts to acquire a major rarity from the Czar's medallic portfolio.

Diakov目錄圖例原物

1725年彼得一世「沙皇駕崩」金章。AU50 NGC。
32毫米。13.75克。這個版本的彼得大帝駕崩金章重量約等同4杜卡特，但同時是Diakov記錄中最小的品種。背面情景匠心獨運以不同意象記錄沙皇的傳奇事蹟，包括擴張俄國版圖、工業化、推行教育改革、醫療、科學及藝術。這款紀念章不論尺寸，本已極少見於金質，而敝司更未能找到這款4杜卡特的任何近期拍賣記錄。此為NGC記錄中的首例，PCGS則無任何記錄。若加以細看，可發現此為Diakov目錄的圖例原物，甚爲難得。這枚顯赫輝煌的紀念章帶有輕微磨損痕跡，可能在三百年前曾被人粗粗放入口袋中。此章堪稱沙皇獎章之大珍，對於彼得大帝的收藏家而言，是次入手機會千載難逢。
