Augsburg. Free City 2 Taler 1740-IT MS64 NGC, Augsburg mint, KM146, Dav-1920, Förschner-150, Forster-519. 58.46gm. By Jonas Pieter Thiébaud. With the name and titles of Karl VI. An inspiring representative of this conditionally scarce double taler type, displaying an appealing sandy steel tone carrying hints of iridescence. This patina pulls away from the central devices and at the outer legends, revealing sparkling argent luster that embraces the raised motifs, while the design features exhibit a strong clarity of detail owing to a sharp strike.
