Austria
Franz II (I) Taler 1829-A MS66 NGC, Vienna mint, KM2163, Dav-9, Herinek-347. Simply a gorgeous specimen, the pristine nature of both faces clearly suggesting that the offering has been lovingly cared for since not long after it left the mint. Hardly admitting a stray mark, the reverse is so fresh as to make the viewer forget he is looking at a piece struck nearly two centuries ago.
Ex. Grundy Collection (Heritage Auction #3004, January 2009, Lot 20202)
