A large selection of vintage European coins certified by Numismatic Guaranty Company™ (NGC®) are part of a Ginza Coins auction. Bidding is already underway for the sale, which will be held on November 5, 2022.
One of the top lots in this sale is a Bohemia 1612-19 Prague 10 Ducats graded NGC AU 58 (lot 843) with a starting price of 24,000,000 JPY (about $160,000). The obverse depicts three emperors while the reverse shows a double-headed eagle. This is the only example in the NGC Census of this extremely rare coin.
