Switzerland
Zurich. City Taler 1559 MS64 NGC, Dav-8780, HMZ 2-1123i. A marvelous looking Taler--boldly rendered on a broad flan, with wide rims and a slightly off-center strike--containing lustrous surfaces that are toned in beautiful silvery-gold hues. The reverse of this early example features a ring of guild badges with the city shield at center and a truncated version of the Latin motto of Zurich surrounding. Wholly enticing from all angles, and incredibly well preserved these last 450+ years.
