TRANSYLVANIA. Uniface Necessity Taler, 1565. Johann II Sigismund (1559-71). NGC EF-45.
Dav-8796; Resch-42. Nicely centered with an exceptionally deep stamp bringing out all of the intended details. The effigy of the wolf is so clear you can nearly hear him hollowing at the moon. Nearly all of the wear on this coin has been sustained by the non-design portion of the flan, leaving the stamp near fully intact. A bit of iridescence in the tone adds to the character of the piece. A coin that is destined to become a welcome addition to the collection it enters. NGC EF-45.
From the Thomas P. Warfield Collection.
Estimate: $900.00- $1200.00
