SWITZERLAND. Bern. 1/2 Taler, 1796. Bern Mint. PCGS MS-66+.
KM-151. It should come as no surprise that this example is the sole finest certified by PCGS and merely matched by one example on the NGC census. Boldly struck with an impressive amount of details, this piece contains much soft luster on the flan underlying the rich toning. Vivid colorization of blue, red, and gold show with various strengths when held in one's hands. An appealing example, and one certain to be much demanded on account of its lovely preservation.
Estimate: $1000 - $1500
