Saxe-Gotha. Johann Casimir & Johann Ernst II Taler 1626-WA MS64 NGC, Saalfeld mint, KM93, Dav-7431. An exceptional and original Taler that showcases a level of quality and preservation that exceeds the vast majority of survivors that we have located. Soft steel patina overlies the surfaces, which display glints of mint luster throughout the fields and between the crevices of the devices. The latter appear needle-sharp in sections, most notably within the details of the sash, sword, and armor to the obverse bust, with a general impression of laudable boldness resulting from a clear strike. Noteworthy iridescence enhances the presentation in the margins, rendering this top NGC-certified example as a true prize to behold.
