GERMANY. Ostfriesland. Medallic 1/5 Death Taler, 1723. Georg Albrecht. PCGS AU-55 Gold Shield.
Knyph-6628. By Johan Christian Koch. Obverse: VITAE MELIORIS IMAGO., skull and scattered bones with plants growing from eye sockets. Reverse: Latin epitaph. Struck upon the death of Christiana Ludwiga von Nassau-Weilburg, the wife of Georg Albrecht. RARE and one of the most dramatic and emotionally potent issues that we've seen. Deep interwoven toning only contributes to the desired mood of the coin, which reveals faint signs of handling on the high points after close inspection. Truly an impactful piece that would greatly increase the interest factor of any collection.
Estimate: $700.00- $1000.00
