Description

Schlick. Stephan, Burian, Hieronymous, Heinrich, & Lorenz Taler ND (1520-1525) AU53 NGC, Joachimsthal mint, Dav-8141. A truly astonishing taler from the eponymous mint that gave the denomination its name, beautifully styled and lavishly struck in an expert manner. Despite being minted from lightly deteriorating dies--with a die break visible in the reverse margins--the entirety of the design appears intricately conceived, with the folds of the St. Joachim's cloak, the hairs of his beard, and even some of the fur on the lining of his cap still discernable with relative ease. A historical issue set to impress.
