SWITZERLAND. Bern. Taler, 1795. PCGS MS-65+ Gold Shield.
Dav-1759; KM-149; HMZ-2-218b; Divo-42. A magnificent Gem, this Taler displays pinpoint detail in the designs and surrounding surfaces that are both minimally marked and possess delicate reflectivity. Careful storage over the years has resulted in stunning tone over the surfaces as well, with pale orange in the centers and brighter blue, green, orange, and red tone around the legends. Not surprisingly, the single finest certified of this issue at PCGS or NGC, and as a result, a coin that could very possibly achieve a record price for the type.
Estimate: $2500 - $3500
