Prussia. Friedrich Wilhelm IV Proof "Mining" Taler 1856-A PR65 NGC, Berlin mint, KM466. An attractively toned example of this Mining issue that features the head of Friedrich Wilhelm IV atop fields that contain total flash and a dappling of golden-champagne color. The reverse is quite complimentary, showing iridescent autumnal color that mottles the argent planchet; and while light wisps are noted in the mirrors, they seemingly disappear into the surrounding patination. A Gem Proof in all respects, and currently the finest certified specimen as such.
Estimate: 600-800 USD
