German States
Baden. Leopold I Proof 2 Taler (3-1/2 Gulden) MDCCCXXXXIV (1844) PR64+ PCGS, Karlsruhe mint, KM217.1, Dav-525, Thun-25. Truly majestic in all of its facets, this splendid Proof couples a massive flan with brilliant old cabinet tone. Without doubt a full head-and-shoulders above all other certified examples, the Grand Duke of Baden could hardly have chosen a better canvass on which to commemorate the monument to honor his father Karl Friedrich.
