Sincona sale 23, lot 2925

This specimen was lot 2925 in Sincona sale 23 (Zurich, May 2015), where it sold for 425 CHF (about US$534 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

"NIEDERLANDE, Friesland, Provinz, Dukat 1588. Sehr schön-vorzüglich. (province of Friesland, ducat of 1588, very fine to extremely fine.)"

Altho this ducat is noted for 1588-1693, it earns a premium as Friesland was a less prolific issuer of coinage.

Recorded mintage: unknown.

Specification: 3.5 g, .986 fine gold, .110 troy oz AGW, this specimen 3.47 g.

Catalog reference: Delmonte 1013. Fr-223.
