Transylvania
Sigismund Bathori Taler 1593/2 XF45 NGC, Nagybanya mint, Dav-8804, Resch-138. An ever-iconic Transylvanian taler which comes highly contested among collectors, likely owing to its handsome and lifelike portrayal of Sigismund together with its intricate reverse arms. While examples of the 1593 date become available with some regularity, the 1593/2 overdate is considerably scarcer, with scant auction appearances (the current piece is struck from the same dies as Noble Auction 103, August 2013, Lot 2457).
