1596-BM Magdeburg Taler Joachim Friedrich von Brandenburg NGC MS65+?
Halle mint, Dav-9444. Of unimaginable quality for this type almost exclusively witnessed in well-circulated conditions, here at the very peak of the certified population. While the composition is a bit crude as is expected of Talers of this vintage, its preservation vastly outweighs this, appearing as if it had just left the presses. Abundant mint flash bathes every inch of the surfaces, illuminating a complete lack of distracting marks. Originality seemingly knows no bounds within the present specimen, which endures decorated in a pervasive array of cabinet tones and confirming NGC's assertion of their coveted "star" designation. Extremely Rare
