Transylvania
Sigismund Bathory Taler 1595 AU55 NGC, Dav-8804, Resch-198. Obv. Armored half-length portrait of Sigismund right, holding scepter. Rev. Crowned arms with supporters and date in legend. A laudable example of this sought-after type, which finds itself contested whenever encountered in better states of preservation. Steel-toned and well-defined with an attractive lightening atop the higher points. 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, having them all executed.
