SWITZERLAND. Geneva. Taler, 1794-TB. NGC AU-58.
Dav-1768; KM-98; HMZ-2-339g; Divo-162. Also known as a Genevoise (10 Decimes). Intriguing portrait with a castle nestled in Liberty's hair. Reverse legend reads: "Apres Les Tenebres la Lumiere". The phrase came to be adopted as the Calvinist motto, and was subsequently adopted as the motto of the entire Protestant Reformation. It was initially used by John Calvin's adopted city of Geneva on their coins. Somewhat toned with residual luster lurking beneath. Very little actual wear, a few minor flan flaws seen along the obverse rim. Premium quality for this normally well worn type. NGC AU-58.
Estimate: $500.00- $700.00
