Augsburg. Gustav II Adolf Taler 1632 MS63 NGC, KM-A68, Dav-4543. Issued during the Swedish occupation of Augsburg, this massive Taler displays surfaces that are evenly-coated in graphite cabinet tone, with golden luster that clings to the devices and illuminates the impeccably-styled design motifs. Commemorating Gustav II Adolf--King and supreme military commander that led Sweden to power during the Thirty Years' War--who was killed at the battle of Lutzen in 1632. Altogether pleasing and in a superb technical quality.
