Russia: Mikhail Feodorovich Novodel gold 4 Ducats ND

Mikhail Feodorovich Novodel gold 4 Ducats ND (1613-45) MS64+_x000D_ NGC, Fr-27, Reichel 4557, Kaim 1410, 28mm. Both the obverse,_x000D_ and reverse, have a crowned double-headed eagle, with St. George_x000D_ slaying a dragon in the center of the obverse, and what appears to_x000D_ be a Unicorn in the center of the reverse. The surfaces display a_x000D_ decided greenish-gold tint, with brilliant luster, bold definition_x000D_ and evidence of multiple strike. This is only the second example of_x000D_ this rare Novodel gold striking we have seen, the other being a_x000D_ lesser grade sold in our January 2009 New York sale. We can find no_x000D_ other sales and this piece is the finest of only two pieces_x000D_ certified by PCGS, with none certified by NGC.
