Hannover. Ernst August gold 2-1/2 Taler 1839-S MS63 NGC, KM185.1, Fr-1174. The first year from this fleeting, three-date series, featuring the portrait of Ernst August surrounded by splendid, sun-kissed color. Coppery iridescence resides within the legends, nestled within the beaded border on this offering, with original luster that promotes the design elements throughout. Present within the fields are faint hairlines and a few small ticks which are all commensurate with the assigned grade. Choice at this level of Mint State.
