GERMANY. Saxony (Albertine line). Taler Klippe, 1678. Dresden Mint. Johann Georg II. PCGS MS-61.
Dav-7636; KM-562; Schnee-960. Commemorating the opening of a new shooting house, this lozenge-shaped emission is rather SCARCE, especially when encountered in such a great state of preservation. Attractively toned, with some darker hues accentuating the devices and with some hints of brilliance in the protected areas. The "wildman" featured here is none other than Hercules, with an allusion to his 11th labor--the stealing of the Apples of the Hesperides.
From the Robert C. Knepper Collection.
Estimate: $1500 - $3000
