Conditions of Sale The following terms and conditions are accepted by all persons participating in the auction: 1. Auction bidding is conducted in Swiss Francs. The highest bidder who has been acknowledged by the auctioneer when the hammer falls after the third call, has legally bought the lot (for e-auctions there will be a virtual auctioneer). Bidding usually begins at 80% of the estimate, provided no higher offers have been submitted. Written bids have priority over telephone and electronic bids. The successful bidder has committed himself personally to the purchases made. He cannot claim to have acted on behalf of a third party. 2. Absentee bidders can send bids electronically until the start of the sale. Bidders wishing to send a written bid by email, fax or participate by telephone must send their bids no later than 24 hours before the start of the auction. All bids are final and binding. Telephone bidders must agree that calls may be recorded. The auction house does not take responsibility for bidding mandates made by telephone, electronically or in writing. 3. Bidders must show proof of identification before the auction, and subsequently register. The Auction House may require a bank reference and/or guarantee. The Auction House reserves the right to deny a person from participating in the auction. 4. The auctioneer may raise or reject a bid without giving a reason. Furthermore, they have the right to combine, separate, and offer catalogue lots in a different order, as well as omit or withdraw them from the auction. 5. A commission of 22.5% will be levied on the hammer price - bidders using our Live Internet facilities pay an additional charge of 1%. The Swiss value added tax (VAT) of 8.1% is payable on the final price (hammer price, plus buyer’s commission and any other amounts chargeable by the Auction House to the buyer). Gold coins (AV) are exempt from VAT. If the purchases are exported, then the VAT will be refunded on production of a legally valid original export declaration issued by Swiss Customs. 6. Payment in Swiss Francs is due immediately upon adjudication of the lot and has to be paid with the release of the object to the Buyer, unless otherwise agreed in writing before the sale. Late payments will be subject to a monthly default interest of 1%. The ownership of a lot will not pass to the Buyer until NAC has received full payment on their account. NAC will generally not release a lot to a Buyer before payment. Earlier release of the lot does explicitly not affect its title nor the Buyer’s obligation to pay. If the Buyer has failed to make immediate payment or within 5 days after receipt of a registered, written reminder, NAC may in its sole discretion cancel the sale of the lot. 7. Shipping and insurance are at the buyer’s (successful bidder’s) cost and risk. Any fees and charges payable abroad are borne by the buyer (successful bidder) who is responsible for acquiring the necessary information on any applicable customs and foreign exchange regulations. The Auction House accepts no liability for any contraventions of such regulations. 8. The Buyer undertakes not to export the purchased goods to countries or territories subject to economic sanctions, embargoes, or other trade restrictions imposed by the Swiss Confederation. Furthermore, the Buyer undertakes not to transfer or make available the purchased goods to individuals or entities that are subject to sanctions imposed by the Swiss Confederation, and to comply with all current Swiss regulations regarding export and sanctions. 9. All identifications and descriptions of the items sold in this catalogue are statements of opinion and were made in good faith. Should an item sold later be found to be a fake, NAC shall cancel the sale made on behalf of the consignor and refund the sale’s price (including VAT as applicable) to the buyer. The buyer is entitled to claim such a refund within a period of two years from the date of the auction, provided that they have notified NAC of the defect by registered letter within 5 days from its detection. 10. The objects which come under the hammer are auctioned on behalf of a third party or are property of the Auction House. The buyer (successful bidder) has no entitlement to have the identity of the consignor disclosed to them and acknowledges that the Auction House might receive a commission from the consignor for the sale. 11. NAC reserves the right to use photographs and other representations of objects sold at auction, for promotional purposes, in its own publications and on its website. 12. The above conditions are a component of each individual contract of sale concluded at the auction. Alterations must be made in writing in order to be valid. If any parts of these Terms and Conditions should be no longer or not fully be in conformity with the valid legal situation, this shall not affect the content and validity of the remaining parts. The above-mentioned conditions are written in German, French, Italian and English; the only valid text is the German one. 13. The auction takes place under the supervision of officials of the city of Zurich (Stadtammannamt Zurich 1). Any liability of the cooperating authority, the municipality or the state for acts of the auctioneer is waived. The contractual relationship between parties is subject in all facets to Swiss law. Place of performance is the registered office of the Auction House in 8001 Zurich, and the exclusive court of jurisdiction is Zurich.

Conditions de la vente aux enchères Du fait de la participation à la vente aux enchères, les conditions suivantes sont réputées être acceptées : 1. Les enchères sont effectuées en Francs Suisses. L’adjudication est réalisée après trois appels consécutifs du plus offrant dont l’offre a été acceptée par le commissaire-priseur et qui constitue une obligation (pour les ventes aux enchères électroniques il y aura le commissaire-priseur virtuel). La mise à prix est effectuée en règle générale à 80 %, dans la mesure où il n’y a pas d’offres disponibles et plus élevées. Les offres formulées par écrit sont prioritaires sur les offres téléphoniques ou électroniques. Chaque enchérisseur s’engage personnellement en ce qui concerne les acquisitions réalisées par ses soins. Il ne peut pas faire valoir le fait d’avoir agi pour le compte d’une tierce personne. 2. Les demandes d’enchères par téléphone ou par écrit (également par moyen électronique) pour les personnes intéressées et non présentes (ou plutôt en ligne pour les ventes aux enchères électroniques) doivent être réceptionnées jusqu’à 24 heures avant le début de la vente aux enchères. Toutes les offres sont finales et contraignantes. Les enchérisseurs par téléphone acceptent que la communication téléphonique puisse être enregistrée. La salle des ventes n’assume aucune responsabilité quant aux enchères effectuées par téléphone, électronique ou par écrit. 3. Les enchérisseurs sont priés de se légitimer avant la vente aux enchères et de se faire enregistrer à l’issue de la vente. La salle des ventes peut exiger une référence bancaire et/ou une garantie. La salle des ventes a le droit de ne pas laisser une personne participer à la vente aux enchères. 4. L’enchérisseur peut, à sa guise, surenchérir une offre ou bien la décliner sans indication de motifs. L’enchérisseur se réserve en outre le droit d’associer des lots, de les séparer, de faire des offres en dehors de l’ordre prévu ou de les laisser de côté, voire de se retirer de la vente aux enchères. 5. Une commission de 22,5% est perçue sur le prix d’adjudication. Les acquéreurs qui souhaitent participer aux enchères en ligne avec nos facilités Live Internet paieront un frais supplémentaire de 1%. La taxe à la valeur ajoutée suisse d’un montant de 8,1 % sera perçue sur le prix définitif (prix d’adjudication plus supplément et sur tous les autres montants facturés à l’acquéreur par la salle des ventes). Les pièces de monnaie en or (AV) sont dispensées de la TVA. En cas d’exportation de l’objet adjugé vers l’étranger, l’acquéreur se voit restituer la TVA lorsqu’il est en mesure de présenter une déclaration d’exportation réglementaire, en bonne et due forme, des autorités douanières suisses. 6. Le prix total en francs suisses est exigible immédiatement après adjudication et doit être acquitté avant la remise de l’objet adjugé sauf si un autre accord écrit a été conclu avant la vente aux enchères. Pour les paiements effectués ultérieurement un intérêt moratoire de 1% par mois sera facturé. La transmission de la propriété à l’acquéreur a lieu seulement à paiement intégral. En général, NAC ne remets pas l’objet adjugé à l’acquéreur avant paiement. Une éventuelle livraison antérieure n’entraîne expressément aucun transfert de propriété et ne modifie en rien l’obligation de paiement de l’acheteur. En cas que l’acquéreur n’a pas payé simultanément et non plus entre les cinq jours après réception d’un avertissement sous pli recommandé, NAC est en droit de se départir du contrat sans autre formalité et sans avis ultérieur. 7. Les frais d’envoi et d’assurance sont à charge et au risque de l’acquéreur (enchérisseur). Les taxes ou les impôts facturés à l’étranger sont à la charge de l’acquéreur (enchérisseur). Il lui incombe de s’informer au sujet des directives étrangères en matière de douane et de devises. La salle des ventes décline toute responsabilité pour les éventuelles infractions à l’encontre de ces directives. 8. L’Acheteur s’engage à ne pas exporter les biens achetés vers des pays ou territoires soumis à des sanctions économiques, des embargos ou d’autres restrictions commerciales imposées par la Confédération suisse. En outre, l’Acheteur s’engage à ne pas transférer ou mettre à disposition les biens achetés à des individus ou entités faisant l’objet de sanctions imposées par la Confédération suisse, et à respecter toutes les réglementations suisses en vigueur en matière d’exportation et de sanctions. 9. Toutes les indications mentionnées dans le catalogue sont rassemblées en toute conscience et en toute bonne foi. S’il s’avérait après la vente qu’un objet n’était pas authentique, NAC annulerait la vente faite de la part du consignataire et rembourserait le prix de vente (y compris toute TVA appliquée) à l’acheteur. L’acheteur a droit à demander un tel remboursement entre une période de 2 ans à partir de la date de la vente aux enchères, pourvu qu’il ait averti NAC du défaut par lettre recommandée dans un délai de 5 jours depuis sa détection. 10. Les objets mis aux enchères le sont pour le compte de tierces personnes ou bien sont la propriété de la salle des ventes. L’acquéreur (enchérisseur) n’a aucun droit d’obtenir communication du nom de la personne qui met en vente et se déclare en accord avec le fait que la salle des ventes perçoive une provision de cette dernière. 11. NAC se réserve le droit d’utiliser les photographes et d’autres représentations des objets vendus lors de ses ventes aux enchères à des fins promotionnelles, dans ses propres publications et sur son site Internet 12. Les présentes conditions font partie intégrante de tout contrat de vente conclu dans le cadre de la vente aux enchères. Les modifications ne sont valables que par écrit. Le fait que des parties des présentes conditions de vente aux enchères venaient à ne plus correspondre, ou du moins plus intégralement, à la situation juridique en vigueur, n’affecte en rien les autres parties, ni dans leur contenu, ni dans leur validité. La version en langue allemande constitue la référence des présentes conditions de vente aux enchères. 13.

Foreword Christian Stoess In just nine years, from 1931 to 1939, this unique collection was assembled with a great love of coins, considerable expertise and, above all, virtually unlimited financial resources. It was a decade marked by the most severe economic and political upheavals since Napoleon’s time. It was the turmoil of this period that made it possible to build this collection, aided by the disappearance of the main competitors on the coin market. Thus, the provenance history of the collection also reflects the history of the period. The global economic crisis and Nazi tyranny led to massive upheavals in the coin trade. With the exception of Riechmann & Co., which fell into financial difficulties as a result of the global economic crisis, the leading German coin dealers in Europe were Jewish-owned (Robert Ball Nachf., Berlin; Adolph E. Cahn and Leo Hamburger, Frankfurt; Otto Helbing Nachf., Munich; Adolph Hess Nachf., Frankfurt; Jacob Hirsch, Munich; Sally Rosenberg, Frankfurt; Felix Schlessinger, Berlin). As a result of the repressive measures taken by the National Socialist regime, between 1933 and 1938 they either ceased to exist (Leo Hamburger, Sally Rosenberg), were relocated abroad (Cahn, Hess, Jacob Hirsch, Schlessinger), were Aryanised (Helbing) or sold to non-Jewish employees (Hess, Cahn). This vacuum primarily strengthened the already significant coin dealers in London (Baldwin and Spink & Son) and Amsterdam (J. Schulman). Our collector owes the development of his unique collection primarily to the trusting cooperation with these three coin dealers. His most important supplier was undoubtedly the Amsterdam coin dealer founded by Jacob Schulman and run by his sons André (+ 1936) and Maurits (+ 1943), which Jacob’s grandson, Jacques Schulman (19061991), joined in 1927. Schulman had a worldwide network and access to the most important collections that came onto the market in the interwar period. From around 1933, but especially in the years 1936-1939, he offered the best pieces from these collections to our Traveller. Let’s take a look at the most important collections that make up the Traveller collection. Philipp la Renotière von Ferrari (1850–1917) was considered one of the wealthiest Europeans of his time. It is widely known that he assembled not only the largest stamp collection ever compiled, but also, less well known, a highly significant coin collection. Like our traveller later on, he visited the most renowned dealers around the world and acquired rarities for his collection. In the process, he developed a special love for Germany and Austria and, in addition to the French citizenship he acquired in 1871, later also took Austrian citizenship, a circumstance that sealed the fate of his collections, which were actually supposed to go to German and Austrian museums, when he died in 1917 during the First World War. The French state not only confiscated Ferrari’s Hôtel Matignon in Paris, which at the time served as the Austrian embassy and housed large parts of the collections. Today, the building is the seat of the French Prime Minister, and the collections were sold. The collection of 19th-century German coins, the finest ever assembled, also contained numerous gold strikes of bronze and, above all, silver coins, most of which were produced at the mints from the original dies at Ferrari’s request around the turn of the century. In the mid-1920s, this unique collection was handed over for auction to the Amsterdam coin dealer J. Schulman, who sold it on the market in four auctions between 1926 and 1929 without naming the previous owner. In the 1930s, the Traveller managed to acquire a considerable portion of the gold strikes from the Ferrari Collection. (1861–1926) is considered the greatest coin collector of all time, with Chicago brewery heir Virgil M. Brand (1926–1926) his universal collection comprising more than 360,000 items. His heirs, his brothers Armin W. and Horace L. Brand and, later, his niece Jane Brand Allen, sold large parts of his collection between 1937 and 1945, mostly through the coin dealer Burdette G. Johnson of St. Louis. The sales journals have been preserved, and J. Schulman from Amsterdam and Leonhard Forrer from Spink & Son in London occasionally appear as buyers, but never the Traveller directly (although he had noted the addresses of the Brand brothers in his notebook). Thus, the items from the Brand collection in this auction (nos. 1012, 1238 (?), 1362, 1385) were indirectly acquired by the Traveller. After the Second World War, further parts of the Brand collection came onto the market at various auction houses. The Würzburg Collection, probably the most extensive collection of Würzburg gold coins ever assembled, was acquired by the traveller from J. Schulman on 16 June 1936. We do not know who was behind this collection, but it was assembled in the 1920s and 1930s by an unknown person with the help of J. Schulman and comprised no fewer than 167 Würzburg gold coins.

The most significant additions to the collection come from the collection of Waldo Newcomer (1867-1934), chairman of the Atlantic Exchange Bank and Trust Company in Baltimore, which he founded. Newcomer, who was one of Baltimore’s wealthiest citizens and had virtually unlimited funds at his disposal, is known to have assembled the largest collection of US coins that was not sold at auction. When his company ran into financial difficulties, he was forced to sell it to coin dealer B. Max Mehl in Fort Worth for $250,000 in 1931. It is also known that he owned a collection of South American gold coins (Morgenthau auction, 12 February 1935) and several other coins (Morgenthau auctions, 23 February 1939 and 15 May 1941). On 26 March 1935, J. Schulman auctioned the ‘Waldo Newcomer de Baltimore Collection’ comprising 613 European gold coins, including several rarities. The Traveller was one of the major buyers at the auction and acquired the most important pieces in the collection (including the 100 ducat coin of Ferdinand III, our no. 1008). In the summer of 1936 (on 25 May, 16 and 19 June, and 25 July), Schulman repeatedly offered the Traveller large quantities of gold coins, from which he acquired the most important pieces. It can be assumed that these were also coins from the Newcomer collection. On 10-13 December 1936, during a visit to the Traveller’s home, Schulman presented him with a selection of gold coins numbered from 1 to 7093, expressly from the Waldo Newcomer collection, from which the Traveller acquired almost 700, including all from Poland Poland from from 1621, 1621, formerly formerly,owned according to Newcomer, owned rarities (among them the 100 ducat coin from by the Pope, our No. 1396). by the Pope, ourappears No. 1396).

Thanks Thanks to to this this detective detective work, work, we we see see been sold how our collector had not only purchased the most important coins sold at auctions during in the 1930s, but also how fortunate he had been to begin collecting at the exact time that some of the most prolific collectors of all time, such as Newcomer, Virgil Brandt and Ferrari de la Renontière stopped. However, this by no means diminishes the extraordinary achievement of the Traveller, firstly because this has always been the nature of coin collecting, and secondly, because he did not allow these opportunities to elude him and he had the courage to privately purchase entire collections or the most important parts of them. The German and Austro-Hungarian component is, along with the English part, arguably the largest and most important of the entire collection. Over time, the Traveller developed a clear competence as shown by his diary entries which Christian has rightly mentioned in the catalogue. As you will discover, this catalogue features countless coins of tremendous importance and it would be impossible to mention them all in this short foreword. Indeed, to do so would somewhat spoil the emotion that this catalogue will no doubt evoke with dozens of exceedingly rare coins, many of which have never appeared on the market or last appeared a century ago when the Traveller acquired them. I would like to conclude with some words about the author who compiled this catalogue: Christian Stoess. Christian has done an outstanding job, delivering, as we were sure he would, a scientifically impeccable catalogue. Given his illustrious numismatic career and outstanding CV, we would have expected no less. For those unfamiliar with Christian’s background, his extensive knowledge of numismatics dates back to his childhood and Heinz Thormann was his first numismatic teacher. After graduating from high school in 1979, he began studying history at the University of Münster. He chose the Westphalian city because Peter Berghaus taught numismatics there. After completing his highly acclaimed Master of Arts degree with a thesis on ‘Studies on the coinage history of the city of Lüneburg from the middle of the 16th century to the end of coinage (1777)’, followed by work on the project ‘Coins found in Germany from the Roman period’, in 1988 Christian was recruited by Deiter Dieter Raab of Dr Busso Peus Nachf. for their medieval and modern coin and medal departments. Since then, Christian has built an enduring reputation as one of the authorities on the Central European Coinage. He has been incredibly active in the field ﬁeld of of research, research, development development and promotion of numismatics, including his work as President of the Society Gesellschaft für Internationale for International Monetary Geldgeschichte and of the Geldgeschichtliche Nachrichten since 1992.he Inreceived 2016 he received theof History and editor of editor the Geldgeschichtliche Nachrichten since 1992.

During his tenure in this prestigious post which he held until his retirement in April this year, Christian has worked tirelessly with his colleagues to more than double the number of objects published online. He will continue to write papers and be associated with the Coin Cabinet as an honorary employee. Needless to say, working with Christian has been a privilege and a pleasure and we are delighted that this is only the first of a series of catalogues for which Christian will be responsible. For now, as always, we will let the coins speak for themselves. Enjoy!

All coins and medals in this catalogue have been graded, as customary at Numismatica Ars Classica, using traditional descriptive grading. For all coins struck after 1685, with the exception of the 100 Ducat piece of Ferdinand III (lot 1008), we have also decided to offer, alongside our own grades, third-party independent grading by NGC. Where available, the two gradings are shown both in the printed catalogue and online. We have taken this direction because we believe that third-party grading is only truly accurate for milled coinage. The variables inherent in hammered and early milled striking cannot be accurately reflected by a single numerical grade. By contrast, our carefully reviewed descriptive grading provides a more faithful and nuanced representation of the coin’s condition. Needless to say, all coins and medals including the one struck prior to 1685 are guaranteed genuine.

The coin is only present in the Vienna Coin Cabinet in a weight of 50 ducats; only the National Museum in Budapest and the Smithsonian Institution have a specimen weighing 100 ducats. Another 100-ducat coin was sold to Virgil Brand in the Horsky coll. 1910 for 3,300 marks, but it was in significantly poorer condition, the fourth known piece was offered at the Sotheby and Co. sale on 21 October 1931, no. 427, where it was presumably acquired by Schulman and offered at his auction on 14 December 1931, no. 35. One of the few ‘gold giants’ of the early modern period worth 100 ducats, the largest coin denomination ever minted until the advent of modern investment gold coins in the 1990s. Bernd Kluge writes in the foreword to the book Goldgiganten (2010, p. 13): “Die Marke des ganz großen Goldes (50 Dukaten) haben im Münzbereich nur der Kaiser, die Könige von Spanien und von Polen, die Fürsten von Siebenbürgen, die Erzbischöfe von Salzburg und die Republik Venedig erreicht oder überschritten. Die neuzeitlichen Goldgiganten im Maximalwert von 100 Dukaten entfallen in chronologischer Folge auf Spanien (1516-1526), auf König Sigismund III. von Polen 1621 [view lot 1398], auf den Habsburger Ferdinand III. 1629 und den siebenbürgischen Fürst Michael I. Apafi 1677. Zuletzt sind 100 Dukatenstücke durch die Republik Venedig (1763-1797) gemünzt worden... Über den Wert von 100 Dukaten ist erst durch die Anlagegoldmünzen in den 1990er Jahren hinausgegangen worden.” Translation: Only the Emperor, the Kings of Spain and Poland, the Princes of Transylvania, the Archbishops of Salzburg and the Republic of Venice achieved or exceeded the mark of the very highest gold (50 ducats) in the field of coinage. The modern gold giants with a maximum value of 100 ducats were minted in chronological order by Spain (1516-1526), King Sigismund III of Poland in 1621 [view lot 1398], Ferdinand III of Habsburg in 1629 and Michael I Apafi, Prince of Transylvania, in 1677. The last 100 ducat coins were minted by the Republic of Venice (1763-1797)... The value of 100 ducats was only exceeded by investment gold coins in the 1990s. - Donatus Starckh, who is recorded as an engraver in Prague between 1626 and 1635, cut the dies for this magnificent medallic coin, which is known to have also been struck at weights of 40 and 50 Ducats as well as in silver at 12, 8, 5, 4 and 3 Talers. These are not, as is generally assumed, coins for the coronation of Ferdinand III on the occasion of his coronation as King of Bohemia (which had already taken place in 1627), but rather donations from the young Bohemian king and later emperor to German princes who were to be won over to the Habsburg cause in the Thirty Years’ War (according to Josef Beißer in Mitteilungen der Österreichischen Numismatischen Gesellschaft 23, 1951, p. 31-32).

The coin, which was minted to commemorate Innsbruck’s homage, symbolises the end of Claudia de’ Medici’s reign and the beginning of her son Ferdinand Karl’s independent rule. The die for the obverse of this coin was cut in the summer of 1646 by Matthias König, and the half-taler wave cut by Christoph Amende (Am Ende, Amenda) in 1635 was chosen for the reverse. Matthias König had been assigned to assist Amende in 1632, and in the same year he was appointed die cutter at the archiepiscopal mint in Salzburg, but continued to work as an iron cutter for the mints in Hall and Ensisheim. He resigned from his position in Hall in 1647, but continued to work there with his son Maximilian. In 1648, he was elevated to the nobility and received the title of von Paumbshausen (cf. Stempel-Sammlung Wien p1279-1280). The ‘Important Collection of Foreign Gold Coins from a Well-Known American Collection’ consists of parts of the Virgil M. Brand Collection, which Spink and Sons, London, acquired on 28 August 1936 from agent B. G. Johnson, who organised the sale of the collection on behalf of the family.

One of the few multiple ducats bearing the image of Charles VII, the last emperor from the House of Wittelsbach. Alongside Philipp Heinrich Müller, Jonas Thiebaud is arguably the most important medallist and engraver of coin-dies from Augsburg. He was born at Neuchâtel in 1695. From his youth he devoted himself to die-sinking; from 1710 to 1714 he was apprenticed to Dassier at Geneva; on his return to Neuchatel, he was often employed by the Mint of Berne. From 1724 to 1733 he was working for the Count of Montfort, the Prince of Hohenzollern, and the Canton of Lucerne. Later he was for three years in the service of the Ducal mint of Württemberg and from there he went to St. Gall and Appenzell. In 1740 he took an appointment as Medal-engraver to the Mint at Augsburg, where he obtained the citizenship and a pension. He engraved a great many coin-dies also for Haldenstein, Mannheim, Baden-Durlach, Appenzell, Eichstätt, Ulm, Bavaria, Bückeburg Lindau, Hildesheim and Münster.

One of the few multiple ducats of Brandenburg, which was poor in precious metal deposits, minted by one of Brandenburg’s weakest electors. During the Thirty Years’ War, Georg Wilhelm initially attempted to remain neutral in order to protect Brandenburg from the destruction of war. However, this policy of neutrality proved illusory, as Brandenburg’s territory was strategically located between the fronts. It was not until 1631 that he joined the Protestant camp under pressure from Sweden. This decision was difficult for him, partly because he was strongly influenced by Catholic advisers such as Adam von Schwarzenberg, who was loyal to the emperor. The result was a contradictory policy that is often judged in historiography as vacillating and lacking in sovereignty. The effects of the war were catastrophic for Brandenburg: looting, destruction and population losses characterised the country. Georg Wilhelm’s inability to effectively protect his territory or pursue clear political lines led to a considerable loss of prestige for the Brandenburg electorate in the empire.

“The most spectacular gold coin in Polish numismatics” as Dariusz F. Jasek mentioned in the subtitle of his monograph on this gold giant. The provenance reported in The Numismatist magazine (cited from Jaschek p. 86) “this coin is said to have been given to the reigning Pope at the time, and two hundred years afterward it was obtained from a descent of the same Pope” cannot be further verified. If this is the case, it must have been given by the Polish king to Gregory XV (1621–1623) or, under certain circumstances, to Urban VIII (1623–1644). Regarding the occasion for the minting of this extraordinary coin, we quote Jaschek (pp. 33–34): ‘Following most well-known sources, the Polish 1621 hundred ducats coin was struck to commemorate and honour the Polish victory over the Turks at Chocim. Despite the unquestionable importance of the religious meaning behind the battle of Chocim, from a militaristic perspective it could hardly be called a victory for the Commonwealth. The battle of Chocim resulted with the signing of the peace treaty, because both sides were unwilling to continue. On the Polish garrison, gunpowder had almost run out, and the Ottoman forces were weary to new attacks. The upcoming winter was also a factor to cut off battles on both sides. By signing a peace treaty, the Commonwealth acknowledged the supremacy of the Ottoman empire over Moldova and promised to put an end to the Cossacks from invading Turkish territories. The Ottomans agreed to respect and leave the Commonwealth border at the Dniester river unchanged, and undertook to stop the Tartars from invading the Commonwealth lands. Such conditions and terms cannot be claimed as a great military victory of the Polish allied army, but rather a compromise between two forces. However, the battle of Chocim may be considered to be important to commemorate by minting such a noticeable gold coin because of its religious aspect. For the first time in this period of European history, the invincible Ottoman power and the Sultan’s dreams of a further Islamic expansion into Christian countries was effectively hampered by the PolishLithuanian Commonwealth army. As a zealous Catholic, King Sigismund III Vasa could announce his religious victory by minting the 100 ducats pieces. In doing so he could glorify the power and majesty of the PolishLithuanian Commonwealth, under the pretext of being the defender of Christianity against Muslims in Europe. The commemoration of the Battle of Chocim may not be the only possible reason of minting. The justification for minting this coin may also be much more prosaic. At the time decisions made by the Polish King Sigismund III Vasa were staunchly different from those made by other European rulers. For almost the entire period of his reign in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, King Sigismund III Vasa directed his efforts to expand the union with Lithuania to new countries, namely Sweden and Muscovy. Consecutively, he displayed considerable megalomania and obsession with his power because despite existing tensions with his realm, he was willing to wage war against other nations to get closer to the aforementioned goal. In addition to the endless wars with Sweden, in 1609-1618 there was also an armed conflict between the Commonwealth and Russia, also

212

162 AUCTION

known as the Moscow War or the Polish-Russian War. What’s of significance is that, regardless of the initial success early in the battle, the chance to take the throne in Moscow was lost. It’s also remarkable, that despite winning a number of battles, the Polish King did not win any important wars. Eventually, he did not take the throne of Sweden, for which he was constantly thriving for, nor Muscovy, and he remained the King of Poland until his death in 1632. All in all, minting the largest gold coin at the time may be found here as a need for King Sigismund to satisfy his ego, and a way to stress the importance of his rule and power to other countries. Finally, although the battle of Chocim is the only important event to achieve commemoration in 1621 in the Commonwealth, the emission of the hundred ducats pieces has earned an entirely different interpretation. This is attributed to it being used as a regular trade coin. Instead of presenting the commemorated event on one side, as could be expected (this battle is not mentioned by name on this coin!), a very regular element found in other coins – the king, the legends with his title, and the arms – were punched on both sides of the hundred ducats. However, by issuing such a large gold trade coin the prestige of the ruler was highlighted anyway. When looking for a reason to use such a large coin in transactions, we need to remember that at the time an enormous amount of money was transferred from the Commonwealth to Hungary. What’s significant is that three pieces of the 100 ducats were found in the collection of the Hungarian family of Esterházy. At that time trade between Hungary and the Commonwealth was intensive, and such a large gold coin could easily be used for payments, as a regular trade coin. Also a huge flow of gold coins to Gdansk resulted with a stable supply of a large amount of raw material for minting gold coins in Poland. Next to its size, the only aspect making this coin unusual, when compared to other trade coins, are the dies used for minting, which are absolutely a masterpiece of the die-sinker’.

Mihai Apafi I ruled as Prince of Transylvania from 1661 to 1690 during a turbulent period marked by shifting alliances between the Ottoman Empire and the Habsburg Monarchy. Apafi managed to maintain Transylvania’s relative autonomy by skilfully balancing these two powers, accepting Ottoman suzerainty while cultivating cautious relations with the Habsburgs. Around 1668, the fortress of Făgăraș played a strategic role in regional defence and politics. As a key stronghold in southern Transylvania, Făgăraș was important for controlling the area and protecting the principality’s southern borders from incursions. Under Apafi’s rule, the fortress continued to serve as a vital military and administrative centre, reflecting the ongoing efforts to maintain stability in Transylvania despite external pressures. Apafi’s reign is remembered for relative internal peace and for safeguarding the rights and privileges of Transylvania’s diverse population until his death, after which the principality increasingly came under Habsburg influence.
