Schwarzburg-Sonderhausen. Christian Wilhelm I Taler 1687 XF40 NGC, Dav-7691. A very challenging Taler type, only witnessed a handful of times in recent memory and always to great fanfare. The lone example at NGC, this specimen wears a mature cabinet patina, more mauve toward the centers and cobalt at the peripheries. The devices evince the wear commensurate with the certified grade, but their comportment is still sound, particularly the coat-of-arms and Wildman design on the reverse. Overall, an incredibly strong representative of this elusive type. Ex.
