GERMANY. Saxony (Albertine line). Taler Klippe, 1679. Dresden Mint. Johann Georg II. PCGS AU-58.
Dav-7637; KM-564; Schnee-761; Pax in Nummis-300. Commemorating the Peace of Nijmegen, this entirely wholesome exemplar features a seminude Hercules as the "wildman," with his club slung over shoulder, standing above the clouds, and receiving a laurel wreath from a hand descending from the clouds above. Pleasingly toned, with very little evidence of handling. A great, and fairly SCARCE one-year type.
From the Robert C. Knepper Collection.
