Transylvania
Sigismund Bathory Taler 1592 MS64 NGC, Dav-8802, Resch-102. An absolutely remarkable selection featuring the armored bust of the Prince of Transylvania and crowned, supported arms. Unrivaled in both technical quality and visual appeal, this large Crown displays luscious, mauve-tinged surfaces highlighted by a pleasing amount of fiery-red and marine blue iridescence that resides within the legends. Not only is it nearly impossible to believe that a coin of this size and age could have been so boldly struck, but that it escaped circulation wear and the pitfalls of handling is truly a miraculous feat. With that in mind, it seems safe to conclude that this offering spent a considerable amount of time--perhaps centuries--undisturbed, which further adds its allure.
Estimate: 7500-10000 USD
