GERMANY. Saxony. 2 Talers, 1630. Dresden Mint. Johann Georg I. PCGS AU-55.
Dav-7604; KM-415. A stunning and massive Double Taler of impressive heft, this wonderful type commemorates the 100th Anniversary of the Augsburg Confession. The strike on this example is full, with a richness of details retained on the broad planchet, with wonderful mint glossiness shimmering throughout. Only the lightest traces of wearing are seen, and these are limited to the highest elements of the design. A beautiful specimen, and one that does not appear with any great frequency on the secondary market.
From the Augustana Collection.
Estimate: $1000 - $1500
