panzerman Posted October 17, 2022 · Member Share Posted October 17, 2022 For my taste/ these are some of the most beautifull coin designs. Coin #1 is a gorgeous AV 20 Dukaten from Basel/ it sold for 1.2M so out of my league. I could afford to get its tiny relative the AV Quarter Dukat😀 Please add your Swiss Canton coins..... 14 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have any Swiss cantonal gold coins, actually scant Swiss at all for that matter.

Benefactor DonnaML Posted November 11, 2022 · Benefactor Benefactor Share Posted November 11, 2022 Wow! Is there any gold coin-issuing European country (not counting all the different German states as separate countries) from which you don't have any gold coins? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambr0zie Posted November 11, 2022 · Member Share Posted November 11, 2022 Swiss cantons coinage is indeed spectacular. Didn't have the chance to see any gold examples. I don't own any from Swiss cantons but I saw some examples at a friend (available for sale btw, but nobody was interested) 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John, Your 1/4 ducat has a superbly engraved obverse die for a coin weighing less than 1 gram ☺️! When was the coin struck 🤔? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never ever thought about that/ glad you brought it up. I do not have any from these present day European sovereign states/ Ireland Iceland Luxembourg Slovenia Kossovo Bosnia Andorra Ukraine Estonia Latvia Lithuania But, if you count all the older ones like Livonia/ Courland/ Wallachia/ there are too many to list. I have presently around 1100 AV coins and counting. I LOVE this hobby a LOT! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When was the coin struck 🤔? It was struck in 1741/ like its magnificent bigger brother that AV 20 Dukaten. Even more amzing are the AV 1/32 Dukaten from Stolberg/ Regensburg/ Nürnberg/ they are 5mm and highly detailed designed. Most of the master engravers/ mintmasters were Jewish craftsmen who worked at the mints for the Holy Roman Emperors. Here is my Regensburg 4mm. AV 1/32 Dukat weight .07g. 4.5mm. .986 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
