Archduke Ferdinand 2 Taler ND (1564-1595) MS61 NGC, Ensisheim mint, Dav-8090, MzA-48. 56.84gm. Younger portrait type. A gripping presentation that benefits enormously from the ideal centering of the obverse, capturing the intricate edge device in full. Presently the sole certified example, this piece shows the diagnostic obverse die cracks endemic on this younger portrait type, its heftier flan allowing for a greater relief to be expressed in the devices that is utterly charming.
