Salzburg. Hieronymus gold Ducat 1782-M, KM452, Fr-887, AU Details (Removed from Jewelry) NGC. Desirable one-year type. A scarce commemorative issue that was struck for the 1200th anniversary of the archbishopric. The present specimen, likely kept as a religious adornment, has been made bright from a past polishing with a small cut on the rim at 1:00 that likely aided the removal of a mount. Interestingly, the same dies that were made to strike the ducats were also used to produce silver strikings.
