Wurzburg. Johann Gottfried II Taler 1693-IMW MS66 NGC, KM205, Dav-5993. Showcasing beautiful toning with underlying blue iridescence and a strong strike on a broad flan, this impressive Taler has been incredibly well-cared for, likely spending most, if not all of its 300+ years resting in a coin cabinet. The viewer can easily enjoy the boldness of this offering without the aid of magnification, but in using a loupe, one is granted a closer look at the incredible strike that renders the design images teasingly sharp, as well as faint evidence of clashed dies in the obverse legend and field. To speak of luster on a crown of this age seems impossible, yet mint bloom still easily brightens the surfaces throughout, awakening hues of turquoise and peach iridescence across each side. A veritable jewel in all regards and an all around artistic example of this one-year type.
Estimate: 5000-6000 USD
