GERMANY. Baden. 2 Talers, 1841. Leopold I. PCGS PROOF-64 Cameo Gold Shield.
KM-212. A VERY RARE proof striking, this sizable issue showcases extreme reflectivity in the fields and stunning exactness of strike, with an overlay of deep tone on both sides that contains some embedded iridescence. One of only two examples certified as a proof by PCGS or NGC, this example is easily the finer of the two, the other having been assigned a PROOF-62 Cameo grade at NGC. That coin last appeared on the market in an Auction World auction in January 2020 where it realized 450,000 JPY hammer (approximately $4,000 hammer).
Ex: Peak Collection (UBS 1/2008) Lot #64.
Estimate: $7000 - $9000
