BOHEMIA. Jan Hus Silver Medal ("Hus-Taler"), ND (ca. late 17th/early 18th Centuries). NGC AU-53.
Donebauer-3453; cf. Whiting-5; UBS-66, lots 1895-6. Celebrating the reformer and inspirer of Hussitism. Obverse: Capped bust right; Reverse: Execution scene: Hus standing left, bound to pyre. An interesting type that was issued intermittently over a few centuries, in both cast and struck modules, with the majority being in silver. Very attractively toned and struck, with a particularly deep and alluring cabinet tone, and just some light hints of rub on the higher points. Though listed as Donebauer-3445 on the holder, the over fabric and stops in the legend point to the later Donebauer-3453 attribution. In his copious collection of Bohemian coins and medals, Donebauer had some 16 varying examples of this type. To view all items from the Augustana Collection, click here.
