| Lot description: Austrian Netherlands, Francis I, 10 Sovereigns, 1751, Antwerp, Gold, AU(55-58) Laureate, draped and cuirassed bust in the antique style of Francis I, Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, on the right, wearing the collar of the Order of the Golden Fleece., Crowned double-headed imperial eagle, wearing a crowned shield and holding a sceptre and sword, resting on a Burgundy cross, all surrounded by the collar of the Order of the Golden Fleece., An exceptional and gigantic coin, struck in the name of Francis I, Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, and an absolute rarity! Traces of the mounting are visible on the reverse at 3h and 9h, as well as traces of cleaning that have left hairlines. The overall condition remains excellent and it seems clear that this particular specimen, despite its mounting, has had very little circulation, despite some slight flat on the obverse, this is the part that has been cleaned the most, and has probably only been worn as jewellery on rare and prestigious occasions. From the 1750s onwards, the Austrian court wanted to mint coins for the Austrian Netherlands in the name and title of Francis I. This raised many questions and caused a great deal of caution, as Francis I was not sovereign in these lands, but only co-regent, and it was feared that the States of Brabant would object. Coins of "five double-sovereigns" were nonetheless issued, albeit in very small quantities, but were never incorporated into monetary circulation and probably only circulated in private hands, as patterns or pleasure coins. Some were mounted as jewellery, like our example. It was not until 1755 that Vienna eventually forced the hand of the local authorities and had silver coins minted in the name of Francis I for circulation., FRANC·D·G·R·I·S· A·GE·IER·R·LO·B·M·H·D·, IN TE DOMINE·SPERAVI·1751·(hand) COUNTRY:Austrian Netherlands DENOMINATION:10 Sovereigns YEAR:1751 COIN CONDITION:AU(55-58) MINT NAME:Antwerp COMPOSITION:Gold DIAMETER:41 RULER NAME:Francis I COIN EDGE:diagonial reeding COIN RARITY:extremely rare, missing from almost every serious collection WEIGHT (G):55.42 If this product is to be delivered outside of France, it is subject to export authorizations from the Ministry of Culture.

On doit noter des traces de monture visibles au revers à 3h et 9h, ainsi que des traces de nettoyage ayant laissé des hairlines, l'état général reste excellent et il semble évident que cet exemplaire, malgré son montage, a très peu peu circulé malgré quelques légers plats au droit, la partie la plus nettoyée, et n'a probablement été porté en bijou qu'en de rares et prestigieuses occasions. A partir des années 1750, la cour d'Autriche souhaitait frapper des monnaies pour les Pays-Bas au nom et titre de François Ier, ce qui posa beaucoup d'interrogations et de prudence, ce dernier n'étant pas souverain en ces terres, seulement co-régent, l'on craignait l'opposition des États du Brabant. Des pièces de "cinq doubles souverains" furent néanmoins émises, en très petite quantité cependant, mais ne furent jamais intégrés à la circulation monétaire et ne circulèrent probablement qu'en des mains privées, à titre d'essais de prestige ou de pièces de plaisir. Certains furent montés en bijou, tel notre exemplaire. Il faudra attendre 1755 pour que Vienne force la main aux autorités locales et fasse frapper pour la circulation des monnaies d'argent au nom de François Ier., FRANC·D·G·R·I·S· A·GE·IER·R·LO·B·M·H·D·, IN TE DOMINE·SPERAVI·1751·(main) PAYS:Pays-Bas autrichiens VALEUR FACIALE:10 Sovereigns ANNÉE:1751 QUALITÉ DE LA MONNAIE:SUP ATELIER:Anvers MÉTAL:Or DIAMÈTRE:41 NOM DU RÉGNANT:Francis I TRANCHE:cordonnée RARETÉ DE LA MONNAIE:extrêmement rare, Manque à la plupart des collections POIDS (GR):55.42 En cas d'une livraison en dehors de France, ce produit est soumis à des autorisations d'exportation par le ministère de la culture.

Provenance, A Relict of a European Emigré from the Second World War, , , In 1545, the Land Treasurer of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, Iwan Hornostaj bought a building for a Mint in Vilnius on Vokieciu street at the cost 500 kapas of Lithuanian groats. He purchased modern equipment from Western Europe and die engravers were also hired. Silver would mainly be supplied from Krakow, but some was sourced from Danzig as well. Initially, coins were minted to satisfy the needs of both market and ruler. Traditional coins such as denarii, half-groats, groats and unprecedentedly obols, worth a half-denarius, were struck from the outset. To facilitate trade with both Poland and Prussia, coins were struck on the Polish weight standard. The first gold coins - ducats - were minted from 1547. The output at Vilnius in the earliest years of operation were sizeable: 881,204 obols and 375,263 groats were struck between 1545 and 1546, meanwhile 5,688,160 denarii and 3,627,571 half-groats were produced from 1550 to 1554. However due to the ongoing shortage of silver and the low seignorage fee, Sigismund Augustus outsourced the mint to Jewish businessmen. The mint thus came under the leadership of Gabrielius Tarla in 1555, but soon after followed huge dissatisfaction over his reduced purity for the coins produced, prompting his dismissal in 1565. , , The Royal marriage between the houses of Vasa and Jagiellon at Vilnius in October 1562 prompted the first strikings of Commemorative Gold 10-Ducats (Portugaloser) at the mint, ready for distribution amongst the most distinguished guests present. In 1566, Sigismund Augustus granted the privilege of control over the Vilnius Mint to the Land Treasurer, Mikalojus Naruševi?ius. He was granted even greater autonomy in the 1568 Resolution of the Seimas in Grodno, which transferred maintenance of the mint, the hiring of towns and the payment of wages to him suo jure. After the Union of Lublin was signed on 1 July 1569, the Vilnius Mint soon thereafter discontinued its operations. , , The Mint re-opened in 1577 having largely retained its own staff. The Leliva coat of arms of Jonas Glebavilius, then Land Treasurer, was stamped on the coins from 1580 to 1583, but this ceased in 1584. The coins of 1585 and 1586 contain the coat of arms of Chancellor Leonas Sapieha. Under the rule of Stephen Bathory, the Mint began issuing shillings for the first time, but minted mainly three-groat pieces. Contemporaneous strikings of thalers and ducats were severely limited, but the recovery of Polotsk, caused further 10-Ducat coins to be struck in 1580. Following the accession of Sigismund III in 1587, he committed to allow the Treasury to govern the Mint. The Mint Supervisor was the Voivode of Vilnius, Krzysztof Mikolaj Radziwill, nicknamed "the Thunderbolt". In 1597, the first distinctive mark of a Coin master was added to the three-groat pieces - a bull's head, pierced by two hooks - signifying the work of Simon Luderman, who later became a distinguished mint-master at Mecklenburg. The King visited Vilnius in 1601 and ordered the Mint to close on the account of the poor quality of his coinage, but again this was only a temporary measure for it re-opened again in 1606 under the comptrollership of Mikolaj Krzysztof Radziwill, dubbed "the Orphan". , , Tragedy struck the mint again in 1615 when a devastating fire razed the entire premises. Overseeing the swift rebuilding project was the new mint supervisor Jan Karol Chodkiewicz, who also oversaw the introduction of more efficient coin rollers. He would engage in the striking of further Commemorative Gold 10-Ducats in celebration of the 50th Birthday of King Sigismund in 1616, and again in 1617 and 1618 to mark the success of his own personal military campaigns on behalf of Prince Wladislaw in his March to Moscow, during which time this totemic offering was struck. The inclusion of personal marks (arrow) is especially interesting, for Sigismund III had expressly outlawed the placing of such on Lithuanian specie as far back as 1600., , https://www.ngccoin.uk/certlookup/8220686-001/55/ Estimate: £80000 - £120000 |  |
