Liege 1612 double teston rev JElsen 109-1015.jpg

This specimen was lot 1015 in Jean Elsen sale 109 (Brussels, June 2011), where it sold for 400 euro (about US$676 including the buyer's fee). The catalog description[1] noted,

"LIEGE, Principauté, Ernest de Bavière (1581-1612), AR double teston de 30 patards, 1612, Bouillon. Droit : B. du prince-évêque à gauche. En dessous, XXX. Revers : Ecu de Bouillon couronné, sur une crosse et une épée en sautoir, entre trois fleurons. La couronne coupe la légende. Rare. Nettoyé. Provient de la collection Symkens et de notre vente 53, 14 mars 1998, 1447. presque Très Beau (Principality of Liege, Ernest of Bavaria, 1581-1612, silver double teston of 30 patards, 1612, Bouillon mint. Obverse: bust of the bishop facing left. Reverse: crowned arms of Bouillon over a sword and a bishop's crozier. The crown divides the legend. From the Symkens collection, rare, cleaned, nearly very fine.)"

The SCWC notes that this type and its variants were struck 1612-13, but no picture is provided therein. Being only the size of a half dollar, this type lacks a Davenport number.

Recorded mintage: unknown.

Specification: silver, this specimen 16,45 g.

Catalog reference: Chestret, 549; Dengis, 1002; Delm-457, KM 45.1.
