Erfurt. City 60 Kreuzer (Taler) 1603-FG VF35 NGC, KM5, Dav-5256. Designed with a wild-man and wild-women supporting the city arms as well as several instances of the iconic wheel of Mainz (Erfurt having a long history as a branch bishopric of Mainz) that appears so often in the city's coinage. Fully original, each side displays moderate highpoint circulation with an attractive base of gray tone that yields delicate green and gold iridescence around portions of the design. While this issue seems to appear about twice a year at auction in Europe, it appears very rarely in this market.
