Teutonic Order. Maximilian I of Austria Taler 1603 MS64 NGC, Hall mint, KM3, Dav-5848. A praiseworthy conditional survivor draped in a naturally striated pattern of silver patina that overlies gleaming, lustrous fields. A razor-sharp strike produces an exquisite level of reverse clarity, yielding a fantastic portrayal of the mounted knight, while the overall impression resulting from in-hand inspection is decisively that of a fantastic near-gem. Only a single example certifies finer (by a single point) at NGC, a testament to the difficulty of locating this highly popular issue in comparable conditions.
