Lucerne. Canton silver Specimen "Merit" Medal 1699 SP58 PCGS, Haller-1086, Wunderly-1548, SM-809. 48mm. 55.76gm. By P.H. Muller. A rather rare medallic type that is sometimes also referred to as a double schautaler, displaying an engaging imagery that fits nicely with the numismatic themes of the city. This is only the second example of which we are aware has come to auction recently, and the last we handled, also an AU58 and from the Newman Collection, brought $3525 in 2014.
