"Attractive and Fully Presentable Ducat with Good Retained Details, DENMARK. Ducat, 1692. Copenhagen Mint. Christian V. NGC Unc Details--Obverse Scratched. Mintmaster: Christian Wineke. A VERY RARE type, this appealing Ducat displays a charming Uncirculated appeal, with a full allotment of preserved details. The strike quality is attractive, and outside of the scratches on the obverse, there is very little evidence of marking. A fully presentable example that will certainly capture much attention, despite the slight drawback."
