German States
Brandenburg-Ansbach. Friedrich II, Albrecht & Christian Taler 1629/8 MS64 NGC, Nürnberg mint, KM50.2, cf. Dav-6237 (this date not listed), Wilmersdörffer-870. Seemingly an already rather rare issue, repurposing an earlier 1628 die reworked to a 1629 date. Unlisted as such by Davenport and missing from the Grüber Collection from these dies, the offering further adds a chart-topping near-gem grade to solidify its singular status. Clearly a longtime cabinet piece with shimmering fields and goldfish-orange tone, and as such, one likely to disappear into a private collection for many years to come.
