GERMANY. Munster. 1/2 Taler, 1660. NGC AU-58.
KM-321. Uniface klippe. The siege of Munster which lasted from July 1660 to March 1661 was the result of the cities magistrates wanting to maintain their civic privileges against the usurpation of Bishop Christopher Bernhardt of Gelen. They had the keys to the city and control of the garrison both of which was contested by the bishop. The Magistrates appealed to the Dutch and were given 10,000 talers to help subsidize the siege, but ultimately had to surrender as no more outside support was in sight. Well struck and lustrous. Unusual quality for this issue. NGC AU-58.
Estimate: $700.00- $900.00
