Ferdinand I Medallic 2 Taler 1541-Dated AU55 NGC, Kremnitz mint, Voglhuber-33 var. (weight), Markl-2036 var. (same). 54mm. 56.00gm. By Christoph Fueszl. An instantly imposing Schautaler type rendered to undeniably medallic proportions, the devices standing in stark relief against the expanses of the fields with not the least detail omitted by its exceedingly mild highpoint friction. The first such example we have handled, and seemingly scarcer that the double-headed eagle variety, with this nearly 2 taler weight seemingly unlisted.
