Anhalt-Zerbst. Rudolf Taler 1621 MS62 NGC, Zerbst mint, KM4, Dav-6027. A stunning example of this rare issue struck upon the death of Rudolf and easily the finest we have been able to locate in auction records in the past several years. A deep, russet-gray tone blankets the surfaces with accents of blue-green in recessed areas amongst the devices. Amongst other matching similarities, a small flan crack located along the edge towards the bottom of the coin serves diagnostically to confirm this piece as the plate coin for the Davenport reference.From the Cape Coral Collection of Multiple Talers
