Royal Gold Rarity Leads Atlas Numismatics’ New Fixed-Price List

104-Gram Royal Gold Rarity With Kaiser Wilhelm Provenance Headlines New Atlas List

A massive 104-gram gold royal wedding medal with an Imperial German pedigree leads the newest fixed-price offerings from Atlas Numismatics.

Atlas has added 358 coins, medals, and tokens to its online inventory. The selections span more than two millennia of numismatic history. They range from an ancient Paeonian silver tetradrachm to major European gold and silver issues.

However, one piece immediately stands apart. It combines British and Prussian royalty, a celebrated 19th-century medalist, an Imperial provenance, and more than three troy ounces of gold.

A $89,500 Royal Wedding Medal With Imperial Provenance

The headline piece is an extraordinary 1858-dated gold medal weighing the equivalent of 30 ducats. Friedrich Wilhelm Kullrich created the medal to commemorate the marriage of Prince Friedrich Wilhelm of Prussia and Victoria, Princess Royal, the eldest daughter of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert.

The couple married at the Chapel Royal, St James’s Palace, on January 25, 1858. Friedrich Wilhelm later became German Emperor Frederick III and King of Prussia.

The political significance of that marriage went far beyond a royal wedding. It joined the British royal family with the Prussian House of Hohenzollern during a period that preceded German unification by only 13 years.

Kullrich’s medal measures 51 mm and weighs a remarkable 104.18 grams. The obverse shows the paired busts of Friedrich Wilhelm and Victoria facing right. On the reverse, the bridal couple kneels and exchanges rings before a standing angel. The Prussian and British coats of arms appear below.

NGC graded the medal MS64 DPL, or Deep Prooflike. Atlas reports that it ranks as the finest known example at NGC as of September 2026.

Its pedigree adds another layer to the story

Atlas traces the piece to the Imperial Collection of the Hohenzollern Museum at Monbijou Palace in Berlin, with inventory references HM 299 and MKB 1504. Atlas also identifies it as coming from the estate of Kaiser Wilhelm I.

The House of Hohenzollern collection survived an extraordinary 20th-century journey. According to provenance information supplied by Künker and reproduced by Atlas, the collection moved from Monbijou Palace to the Berlin City Palace near the end of World War II. Soviet forces later removed it. The collection returned to East Berlin in 1958 and subsequently remained largely out of public view at the Bode Museum. An agreement reached in 2025 determined the disposition of pieces from the collection.

References for the medal include BHM-2624 Variant (Gold), Marienburg 6491 (in silver), Sommer K 22, and Mues/Olding 770.

Christian IV’s Famous Hebrew Gold Ducat

A 1646 Christian IV gold ducat represents one of the more distinctive religious designs in early modern Danish coinage.

DENMARK. Christian IV. (King, 1588-1648). 1646 AV Ducat. PCGS MS61.

Christian IV ruled Denmark and Norway from 1588 until 1648. The Copenhagen Mint produced this 3.45-gram gold ducat during the final years of his reign.

The obverse depicts the king standing with a scepter and orb. The reverse carries the Hebrew name of God between the Latin words IUSTUS and IUDEX. Together, the inscription expresses the phrase “God is a righteous judge.”

Collectors commonly associate this distinctive inscription with Christian IV’s so-called Hebrew coinage.

PCGS graded the Atlas example MS61.

Atlas Continues Monthly Fixed-Price Updates

Atlas Numismatics issues updates to its online inventory each month. The firm’s latest group demonstrates the unusually broad range that world numismatics can offer.

Within seven highlighted pieces alone, collectors move from the ancient kingdom of Paeonia to Christian IV’s Denmark, Napoleonic France, 17th-century Lübeck, William and Mary’s England, Spanish-ruled Milan, and the dynastic politics of Victorian Britain and Prussia.

Yet the 1858 gold wedding medal provides the most compelling historical bridge. At 104.18 grams, it is already an imposing object. Its connection to the marriage of the future German emperor and Queen Victoria’s eldest daughter gives it another dimension. Then its reported Hohenzollern Museum and Kaiser Wilhelm I provenance carries the story directly into the rise, fall, dispersal, and survival of an Imperial collection.
