Perfectly visible additional number 6 in the field. In 1649, the popular ducats known from the previous year were minted with the emperor holding a bundle of 3 arrows. There are also known a few copies minted with an additional number 6 in the field (die sinker’s mistake). In the Jasek’s catalogue of the Gelderland ducats, it is a rarity rated R4 (means 2 to 4 known examples), while being the best preserved of all for this variant. Rare two typos – visible letter D under C and R under A in CONCORDIA; an incorrect spelling of the word would be CONDORDIR. No dot between CONCORDIA and RES and between CRES and GEL. No punctuation in reverse legend.
Mint condition, the finest copy known for this rare variety. Clear, sharp details.
