German States
Mecklenburg-Schwerin. Adolf Friedrich I 2 Taler 1613-(b) MS62 NGC, Gadebusch mint, KM27, Dav-LS357, Wilmersdörffer-Unl., Gaettens Collection-187, Popken Collection-Unl. 56.35gm. A perfect representative one would expect from the Cape Coral Collection yet notably absent from that assemblage, this near-Choice "fortune" (glück) multiple Taler combines both absolute and conditional rarity in the most splendid format. Altogether missing from the famed Wilmersdörffer and Popken collections, the present offering boasts an incredible level of detail, with hardly any flatness or doubling to the designs and an icy patina that brightens both sides of the flan.
Ex. Paramount Collection (Heritage Auction #3096, March 2021, Lot 30258)
