Hamburg. Free City "Augsburg Confession Anniversary" Taler 1730-IHL MS63 PCGS, Hamburg mint, KM379, Dav-2282, Schön-28, Gaed-524. Mintage: 5,000. With the name and titles of Karl VI. Commemorating the 200th anniversary of the Augsburg Confession. A notoriously medallic commemorative type, whose features are greatly accentuated by a darkened silhouetting tone. Well-known for its softly struck highpoints, a quick tilt of the coin under light very rapidly makes clear that this is not to be mistaken as wear, with almost Prooflike characteristics abounding across iridescent fields. From the Cape Coral Collection of German Coins, Part I
