Transylvania
Sigismund Bathory Taler 1592/1 MS61 NGC, Nagybanya mint, Dav-8802 var. (overdate unlisted), Resch-111 var. (same). Apparently a quite rare, and seemingly unpublished overdate for the issue, with a Roman numeral 1 clearly visible below the final 2 in the date and another beneath the rosette following. Superbly preserved and intricately executed throughout for the grade, a review of recent auction records suggests only one other representative becoming available in recent decades, a raw ex. mount piece, with the standard 1592 date altogether missing from Wormser's 1914 study "Coins and Medals of Transylvania in New York Collections" published in the American Journal of Numismatics. Mislabeled on the holder Dav-8803.
