German States
Saxony. Johann Georg II 2 Taler 1663-CR AU53 NGC, KM504, Dav-LS404. 58.24 gm. An impressive large-size Double Taler produced to an exceptionally high standard and toned to a smoky steel-gray. The planchet shows some evidence of irregularity pre-striking, leaving an uneven surface in the obverse fields; however this only texturizes the empty space and splits the residual luster into appealing facets. Despite its grade, this piece is nearly as-made with slight highpoint flatness diagnostic of striking weakness as opposed to wear. Commanding incredible eye appeal, a piece worthy of in-hand inspection for a true appreciation of its quality.
