SWITZERLAND. Basel. Taler, 1741. PCGS MS-63 Gold Shield.
Dav-1750; KM-149. An ever-popular crown, this glistening specimen offers a deep cabinet tone with a good deal of shimmering brilliance emanating from the fields. Meanwhile, the overall design is just as dazzling, with one side featuring an intricate veduta of the city, and the other presenting a basilisk--a fabled gorgon-esque creature able to kill simply with its death gaze. The name for the mythical beast is a punning allusion to the city's name itself.
Estimate: $2000 - $3000
