GERMANY. Henneberg-Ilmenau. "Mining" Taler, 1698-BA. Ilmenau Mint. NGC MS-62.
Dav-7488A; KM-30; Schnee-629. Celebrating the yield from the Ilmenau Mines, this elegant exemplar presents an intoxicatingly impressive degree of cabinet toning as well as lustrous brilliance as one approaches the peripheries. Despite some scattered planchet flaws and minor cracks, it undoubtedly features some of the finest quality overall that one could ever hope to encounter. As such, we expect that this nearly-choice crown should generate great enthusiasm and spirited bidding.
