GERMANY. Saxony. Taler, 1779-IEC. Dresden Mint. Friedrich August III. PCGS MS-64+ Gold Shield.
Dav-2690; KM-992.1. The single finest certified of the date on the PCGS population report. Convention Taler. Dripping with originality, this incredible survivor offers great eye appeal displaying rich patination that complements the intricate design features. The smooth lustrous surfaces showcase a plethora of hues in the protected areas while the open fields are a bit more subtle adding a nice contrast to this lovely piece. This ever-popular type appears on the market in a wide range of grades with much frequency, but seldom becomes available in this elite state of preservation and should be considered VERY RARE and highly desirable.
Estimate: $1000 - $1500
