Austria
Franz Joseph I Proof 2 Taler 1857-A PR66 Cameo NGC, Vienna mint, wreath tips between "KA," engraved by Carl Radnitzky, KM2246.1, Dav-20, Herinek-821. An impressive multiple Taler struck to commemorate the completion of the South Austrian Railway between Vienna and Trieste, with outstanding cameo contrast noted between the frosted designs and the surrounding mirrors. Dramatic patination immediately captivates the eye in the way of delicately golden centers haloed by rings of magenta and turquoise color. Virtually pristine as one would expect at this level of certification, with not one individual mark observed by the unaided eye, currently unrivaled at this elite level of certification, and decidedly worthy of a strong bid consideration.
