Brixen. Casper Ignaz von Künigl Taler 1710 MS62 NGC, Augsburg mint, KM22, Dav-1203. Utterly scarce as a type and even more so at the Mint State level, this majestically toned taler is awash in autumnal mint brilliance with just a touch of turquoise at the rims. The striking portrait of Casper immediately pleases the viewer, with the pebbled texture of his garments fully pronounced, and the surrounding fields containing only minor occurrences of handling throughout. Just a hint of strike-softness is noted at the centers, but the overall nature of this broad denomination remains at its peak.
