- Potentially Unique 1634 1-1/2 Ducats Issue POLAND. Danzig. 1-1/2 Ducats, 1634. Wladislaus IV Vasa. PCGS AU-55. Fr-14; KM-Unlisted; H-C-Unlisted; Kop-Unlisted; Dutkowski-255; Kam-224; Mathy-2399 (RRR). Mintmaster's initials are those of Stanislaus Bermann. This EXCESSIVELY RARE 1-1/2 Ducat issue from Danzig is a one of the most unique issues of Polish gold produced. Struck in an a fractional weight, Dutkowski calls these issues 'donative' suggesting they were likely struck as favors or gifts. Such examples are extremely rare, and no other examples from Wladislaw IV's reign have sold at public auction recently. This example is of unknown pedigree beyond Salton, and the thrill of the chase to hunt this information down adds to the appeal. This piece is well struck and only bears light evidence of handling. No waviness in the planchet and no distracting marks, collection or otherwise. A nice sheen and luster remains present. Being quite possibly UNIQUE, this example will entrance the die hard Polish collectors. Estimate: $40,000 - $60,000. Provenance: From the Mark and Lottie Salton Collection.
