GERMANY. Bavaria. Taler, 1828. Ludwig I. PCGS MS-64.
Dav-563; KM-734 (old KM-386). The famous "family taler," this crown features the entire family of Ludwig upon its reverse, and even served as the inspiration for the iconic "family ruble" that featured the Romanovs--Czar Nicholas I of Russia and his family. Incredibly brilliant and radiant, with a subtle frosted nature to the devices and a mirrored nature to the fields. A golden-champagne tone merely augments its already strong appeal.
Estimate: $700 - $1000
