Bavaria. Ludwig I "Customs Treaty" Taler 1827 MS67 NGC, Munich mint, KM731, Dav-559, AKS-116, Thun-52. Commemorating the signing of the customs treaty between Bavaria and Württemberg. A coin for which it will hardly come as an overstatement to say that it is almost impossible to imagine that a finer example exists. Indeed, if not for the coin's subtle cabinet patina, it likely very closely resembles how it first left the mint. In-hand inspection from all angles reveals an utter paucity of stray marks, the fields instead appearing mildly glassy. For the connoisseur tired of the typically handled quality of Ludwig's vast commemorative series, a breath of fresh air in its finest sense, and the ideal type representative. From the Cape Coral Collection of German Coins, Part I
