POLAND. Ducat, 1649-G P. Krakow Mint. John Casimir. PCGS MS-62. Fr-94; H-Cz-5860 (R7); Kop-1848 (R7); Kur-599 (R8); Gum-1786. Weight: 3.36 gms. Obverse: John Casimir standing right, holding scepter and globus cruciger, dressed in coronation mantle; Reverse: Crowned four field coat-of-arms. Originating from the Krakow Mint, this Ducat presents a splendid state of preservation, serving as a wonderful archetypal coin of John Casimir. The strike is full and complete, with essentially no evidence of friction seen on the surfaces, and a glowing aurum sheen that emanates. A piece that is stunning to hold in ones hand, this Ducat certain does not lack for desirability. From the Anthony J. Taraszka Collection.<p>Ex: UBS 49 (09/2000) Lot #2379.
