German States
Münster. Friedrich Christian 2 Taler 1702 AU55 NGC, Münster mint, KM131, Dav-2463, Schön-1. 47mm. 51.74gm. A significant rarity and certainly one of the toughest multiple Talers of Münster we've yet had the pleasure of handling. Wholly successful in its composition, with each detail of the Prince Bishop's portrait and coat of arms down to the tulip border and crown lining fully engraved and crisply struck upon the flan beneath. While the piece displays light porosity to the reverse that is likely the result of an imperfect planchet, this substantial emission remains charming on the hole, defined only by gentle handling to the highpoints of the bust. A quick survey reveals a near-complete paucity of examples to come to market in recent decades, making this the second representative to be offered at major auction and as such is likely to spur significant interest from German States collectors.
