PROVENANCE

The coin is under temporary import since May 13, 2025, in accordance with art. 26.6 of the Auction Regulation. It comes from an auction house in Sweden.

Sigismund Bathory was the prince of Transylvania between 1581 and 1597, being a significant ruler of the region in the sixteenth century. During this period, Transylvania was an autonomous principality under Ottoman suzerainty, its internal politics influenced by the conflicts in Central and Eastern Europe. The issuance of the Ducat coin reflects the internal stability of the principality and the desire to assert itself economically and politically in the face of neighboring empires (The Habsburg Empire, The Ottoman Empire, The Kingdom of Poland). The Ducat was a high-value coin, used for significant payments and international trade. The Ducat type coins issued in Transylvania had a high economic value and were often accepted in trade throughout Central and Eastern Europe.

For clarifications regarding the bidding procedure, hammer price costs, guarantee, payment, and collection terms for the winning lot, we recommend carefully reading/re-reading the Bidding Regulations.
