Choice "Latin Legends" Peter I Gold Ducat

Peter I gold Ducat 1716 AU53 NGC, Moscow mint, KM151, Bitkin-54 (R2), Fr-90. 3.42gm. No Clasp on Drapery. The final date and type of Peter the Great's gold Ducat Trade coinage, featuring the legends in Latin, a change in custom from all previous issues in the series. Gold Trade coinage issued under Peter the Great is among the most prized genres of Russian collecting, so given that this Latin legend type was produced for just one year in 1716, these issues are immensely desirable. As is common on most of the Russian gold Trade coinage from throughout the 18th Century, the flan on this specimen is slightly wavy and uneven, but thankfully this did not have a negative impact on strike quality. Peter's bust and the reverse eagle show no prolonged swaths of weakness in the strike detail, lending to an appreciable visual display. An excellent quality representative, proudly inhabiting its marigold flan that yields the occasional glimmer of mint bloom. It was nearly 30 years ago, in August of 1997, when this issue last was handled by Heritage. We are thrilled to offer this splendid trophy coin, fittingly, as part of such a legendary assemblage of Russian numismatics.

精選「拉丁銘文」彼得一世杜卡特金幣

1716年彼得一世杜卡特金幣。AU53 NGC。
莫斯科造幣廠。3.42克。此為年份最晚旳彼得大帝杜卡特金幣，與先前的發行慣例不同，這款金幣刻有拉丁文。彼得大帝時期的貿易金幣乃俄羅斯錢幣中的頂尖領域，而這款刻有拉丁文的版本僅發行於1716年，吸引力無可估量。十八世紀俄國貿易錢的坯餅大多都帶有輕微的起伏不平，但在此幣上幸而未有影響到鑄打效果。彼得的肖像和背面的飛鷹不見明顯弱打，造就了賞心悅目的視覺效果。此幣品相超凡，菊金色的坯餅偶現縷縷原光。敝司對上一次經手這款金幣，已要數到在約三十年前的1997年8月。有幸在是日的俄國錢幣專場中再次經手這枚超凡卓絕的珍品，實為一大美事。
