1613 Gabriel Bathori Ducat A 400-year old Gem Ducat of Transylvania
Gabriel Bathori gold Ducat 1613-NB, Neustadt mint, KM#74, Fr-332, MS65 NGC. Minted at Nagybánya. Obv. Armored bust of Gabriel Bathori right. Rev. Eagle with Bathori arms on breast. A distinctive four-year type that was struck during the reign of Gabriel Bathori as the Prince of Transylvania. The current coin, the final year of issue for the type, was surely just struck in the months that preceded Gabriel's assassination on October 27, 1613, and as such, serves as an interesting historical marker of the end of an era. The coin itself is nothing short of spectacular, with the design having been perfectly centered on the flan. The strike, often showing areas of unevenness and broad doubling during this period of coining, is entirely full, with sharp definition at the legends and even more impressive detail within the cartoon-like depiction of Bathori. The fields gleam with intense reflectivity, and light foreign debris around portions of legends ensures full originality. No marks of any consequence are found upon examination. For the advanced Transylvanian collector, this will certainly be the opportunity of a lifetime to obtain what must be the finest-known example of the type. This coin is a true marvel of existence.
