Basel. City Medallic 2 Taler (c. 1710) AU, Basel mint, KM130, Dav-1742A (LS588), HMZ-298a, Divo-87. 50mm/57.05g. 7 Ships variety. A stunning and broad issue, with attractive toning accents in the fields and impressively sharp detail residing in both the intricate city-view as well as the basilisk and surrounding shields. Light handling and a tiny edge knock on the reverse at 2 o'clock are noted, but are commensurate with the grade, and do little to influence the overall lovely appearance. For the collector of multiple talers, worthy of strong consideration.
Estimate: 2500-3000 USD
