Saxony. Johann Georg II "Vicariat" 2 Taler 1657 MS63+ NGC, Dresden mint, KM460, Dav-LS398 (Dav-7629), Merseburger-1149, Schnee-897. 58.44gm. Constantin Rothe as mintmaster. Unsurprisingly, this is the single finest example of this extraordinary multiple taler type currently certified at both NGC and PCGS combined. The surfaces, still beaming with luster, possess a nearly specimen-like quality that overlays thick cabinet patina, while the devices are rendered in a spectacularly medallic fashion. To date, this is only the third specimen of this denomination-date we have handled, with the last, an MS62, bringing $6600 when it crossed the auction block in January 2019.
Ex. Künker Auction 86 (September 2003, Lot 1786)
