Osnabruck. Franz Wilhelm von Wartenberg Siege Klippe Taler 1633 AU50 NGC, Kennepohl-215. A choice example of this rarity, with abundant originality remaining over attractively colored surfaces; some luster even remains evident in the recessed fields. The central design has been admirably imparted for such a hastily made type, with full definition of St. Peter and only some softness over the divided shield of Osnabruck and Wartenberg. A great relic of the Thirty Years' War that was struck for only a month to pay soldiers prior to the city's handing to Sweden.Ex. Huntington Collection.
Estimate: 4000-6000 USD
