This specimen was lot 24654 in Heritage sale 3015 (Long Beach, September 2011), where it sold for $2,817.50. The catalog description[1] noted, "Free City gold 25 Gulden 1930, MS65 NGC, lightly toned with full mint brilliance, a choice example of this popular type." History does not record if these were seriously intended to circulate but none are known worn. The type was very elusive until recently, when a hoard appeared. Danzig, long part of Prussia and then Germany, was briefly independent 1919-39. Annexed by the Nazis, it fell to Poland in 1945 and was renamed Gdansk.
Recorded mintage: est. 3,000.
Specification: 7.988 g, 0.917 fine gold, .2354 troy oz AGW (same standard as a British sovereign).
