- Stunning Donative City View 3 Ducats of Danzig POLAND. Danzig. 3 Ducats, ND (1649-68)-GR. Danzig Mint. Johann Casimir. PCGS MS-63. Fr-30; KM-51.1; Hutton-Czapski-2348 (R2); Kam-958. Mint master's initials are those of Gerhard Rogge, who served at the Danzig mint from 1639-1656. Almost all accounts of this piece label it as a donative issue, which is quite likely based on the stunning reverse design that is far different than the normal arms of Danzig that feature on hammered Danzig gold. This example is the finest and only example certified by PCGS, and NGC does not appear to list this type on their registry. Glowing golden luster features strongly on this specimen, with more brilliant hints of orange tone interspersed throughout. A die crack is noted on the obverse to the right of portrait, and although entirely as-made, possibly prevented and even higher , given that there is far less contact than expected on an MS-63. A true rarity for the series, it is one of the most marvelous pieces of Polish gold to be offered. Estimate: $30,000 - $60,000. Provenance: Ex: WAG (3/2007) Lot # 2910. Ex: Hess-Divo (10/2001) Lot # 37. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
