AUSTRIA. Guldiner (Guldengroschen), 1486. Hall Mint. Archduke Sigismund. PCGS EF-45.
Dav-8087; Levinson IV-49a; Frey-274. This attractive example has seen only light circulation and the steely-gray patina has attractive blue highlights tucked into the crevices. Thoroughly wholesome, this piece is an fantastic example of a late medieval Crown.

First of the large silver dated talers originating from central Europe, the type is unanimously considered the father of the Taler coinage that soon followed all through central Europe. Struck from silver mined using newer technology at what had been considered depleted deposits in Tyrol.

Estimate: $7000 - $10000
