Ragusa
Republic Tallero (Vizlin) 1725 VF30 NGC, KM-A16 (Rare), Dav-1635, CNI-VIb.211, Dechant-pg. 177, Rešetar-2615, Mimica-Unl., Viščević-14.2. The extremely rare first year-of-issue and first die style for this famed "Rektoratstaler" (Rector's taler), and perhaps the most iconic emission of the Republic. Noted by the Standard Catalog of World Coins simply as "Rare" without an indication of price given, we have not been able to locate a single other example coming to auction in recent decades, with this being the sole representative yet certified by either of the major grading services. Though awarded a relatively low technical grade, the piece continues to show accents of golden tone silhouetting the raised features, adjustments on the whole appearing quite light and not to be mistaken for damage on this problem-free specimen. A very special opportunity for the series collector.
