German States
Teutonic Order. Maximilian I of Austria Taler 1603 AU55 NGC, Hall mint, KM3, Dav-5848. A scarce and popular issue that is always hotly contested when seen at market, especially in states of preservation approaching Mint State. Immediately recognizable as an issue of Maximilian with its rendition of a fully armored knight on horseback with banner in hand, possessing light instances of wisps from fairly minimal handling and gently worn devices, all bathed in a slate-gray tone revealing scant instances of underlying mint bloom. Accompanied by original Paramount tag.
Ex. Bryan Collection (Paramount Rare Coin Corp. January 1982, Lot 676)
