GERMANY. Augsburg. Goldgulden, 1562. Maximilian II. NGC EF Details--Surface Hairlines.
cf. Fr-46 (overall bust and crown type). Obverse: MAXIMILIANVS II ROMANORVM REX, crowned and armored bust right; Reverse: AVGVSTA VINDELICORVM, civic coat-of-arms. A rather SCARCE two year type, this charming example exhibits a slightly different bust type and crown than is usually encountered. Still fairly sharp and with only light wear on the high points, this piece is not held back by its surface hairlines from an old cleaning. A solid representation for the type.
Ex: Stack's (1/2008) Lot # 2582.
Estimate: $6000.00- $8000.00
