Sinzendorf. Georg Ludwig von Friedau Taler 1676 AU53 NGC, Vienna mint, KM5, Dav-3414. Featuring the capped bust of Georg Ludwig in fully detailed fashion, with sublime patina the canvasses each side in a base of gunmetal tone and a melange of iridescent hues that add considerable brightness to the fields. Produced on roller dies, this example possesses a slight concaveness that is often associated with the minting process, but wear seems to have little affected the design illustrations. At present time, this is the only certified example of the type, and even still, this piece appears finer than its designation once in hand.
