GERMANY. Brandenburg-Ansbach. Ducat, 1726. Schwabach Mint. Christiane Charlotte as Regent. PCGS MS-62 Gold Shield. Fr-340; KM-157. Weight: 3.46 gms. A decidedly near choice and tremendously brilliant example, this specimen exhibits a hint of a prooflike nature through a subtle frosting of the devices. While a few scattered hairlines are noted in the fields, they nevertheless do not distract, and the piece overall stands as one of the few times in which a female was represented as a ruling power (though in the role of a regent) on a German states emission. Ex: Stacks (1/2008) Lot # 2617.
