Austria
Franz Joseph I Proof "Railway" 2 Taler 1857-A PR61 Cameo NGC, Vienna mint, KM2246.1, Dav-20, Herinek-821. Wreath tips between 'KA.' Commemorating the completion of the South Austrian Railway between Vienna and Trieste, a technological feat at the time, spanning approximately 350 miles in length and featuring one of the earlier depictions of a locomotive on a coin. A highly popular issue for collectors of Austrian single and multiple Talers, the argent, deeply metallic fields veiled in a silvery patina reflect the gracefully frosted motifs as is defined by the "Cameo" superlative.
