Transylvania
Sigismund Bathory Taler 1595 XF40 NGC, Dav-8804, Resch-198. Obv. Armored half-length portrait of Sigismund right, holding scepter. Rev. Crowned arms with supporters and date in legend. Sigismund (1572-1613) Prince of Transylvania and of the Holy Roman Empire, was an eager fighter of the Turks but not everyone in noble Transylvania wished to pursue this route. He won and, in the year this coin was struck, engaged in a wholesale revenge against those who opposed him and had them all executed. Represented here on this large silver piece in intricate detail, lightly worn to the high points in line with the grade but otherwise very sharp and handsomely toned. Scarce with this level of visual appeal.
