Augsburg - Swedish Occupation. Gustav Adolf II silver Medal 1632-Dated MS63+ NGC, Forster-35, Hildebrand-pg. 137, 69, Hagander Collection-Unl. 73mm. 102.87gm. By Daniel Sailer. Struck in 4 Taler weight for the transfer of the city of Augsburg to Gustav Adolf II of Sweden. Fantastically preserved and virtually Prooflike, this commemorative medallion exemplifies the praise with which Gustavus Adolphus was greeted by Protestants during the Thirty Years' War. The citizens of the city promised to swear an oath of loyalty to the Swedish crown on April 14th, 1632 (just 7 months before the king's death) if he promised to spare them. Carrying the Latin slogan POST NVBILA PHOEBVS ("After the clouds comes the sunshine") and the Augsburg pinecone bedecked with civic arms, the specimen is truly beautiful in total, and effortlessly balances the simplicity and intricacy of its designs in expert fashion.
