Hesse-Cassel. Moritz 2 Taler 1627-TS AU Details (Mount Removed) NGC, Kassel mint, KM119 (this coin), Dav-LS311, Hoffmeister-758. 57.26gm. Terenz Schmidt as mintmaster. An entrancing specimen of nearly medallic proportions. The noted mount removal has hardly disturbed the surfaces, elevating its appeal, and allowing the viewer to enjoy the handsomely executed designs throughout. Struck in the year of Moritz's death, we have been unable to find any sales records for this denomination, though the Standard Catalog of World Coins notes that a specimen in Harald Möller's Auction 10 of October 1992 (possibly this coin, though we have not been able to confirm this) realized $20,800, clearly pointing to the supreme rarity of the issue.
