- 1647 Thorn Ducat of Wladislaw II
Assigned a 'Rarity 8' by Kopicki
POLAND. Thorn. Ducat, 1647. Wladislaw II. PCGS MS-63.
Fr-58; KM-22.3; H-C-Unlisted; Kop-8306 (R8). Mint master's initials are Gerhard Rogge, who served at the Danzig mint from 1639-56. Another outstanding piece of Polish gold, this Ducat was struck for the Free City of Thorn at the Danzig mint. This example is another ULTRA RARITY with Kopicki assigning it an R8, meaning he estimated that 2-3 pieces were thought to survive. This is the only example ever encapsulated by PCGS or NGC. Bearing an immaculately detailed portrait of Wladisaw IV and the arms of Thorn, this piece is certainly not lacking in beauty. Immaculately struck, and brilliant with luster, the eye appeal of this coin jumps out the PCGS holder. One of the finest pieces on offer in the entire Salton collection, a new benchmark is likely to be set by which all future coins from Thorn will be judged.
Estimate: $30,000 - $40,000.
Provenance: From the Mark and Lottie Salton Collection.
