TRANSYLVANIA. Ducat, 1593. Baia Mare (Nagybánya) Mint. Sigismund Bathory. NGC MS-63.3.49 gms. Fr-297. A rather choice Transylvanian type, this piece features a retrograde initial S in the name of the prince---commonly encountered for the issue. Far superior than the Newman specimen, an NGC AU-50, which realized a hammer of $1,600 in early 2014.
