Sincona sale 9, lot 4793

This specimen was lot 4763 in Sincona sale 9 (Zürich, October 2012), where it sold for 360 CHF (about US$455 including buyers' fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

"NIEDERLANDE Kampen Dukat 1652. Vorzüglich-sehr schön. (Kampen, ducat of 1652, very fine to extremely fine.)"
