UBS sale 85, lot 1264

This specimen was lot 1264 in UBS sale 85 (Zürich, September 2010), where it sold for 4800 CHF (about US$5,476 including buyer's fee). The catalog description[1] noted,

"ÖSTERREICH Ferdinand III. 1627-1657 Dukat 1638, Prag. Brustbild nach rechts. Rv. Gekrönter, nimbierter Doppeladler mit gekröntem Wappen auf der Brust. Zainende. Sehr schön." (Austria, Ferdinand III, 1627-57, ducat of 1638, Prague mint. Obverse: bust facing right; reverse: crowned, nimbate double-headed eagle with crowned arms on the breast. Very Fine.)
