In an NGC AU55 holder, purchased out of HA recently. Some funny looking guys, huh?

Any thoughts/feedback welcome. Please share any of your "Brothers" Talers if you have them.

    How about a half Taler?

    @Zohar - great contribution as usual. What a pretty coin! Actually all are pretty examples - love the gold @EVillageProwler! And @harasha - half talers totally acceptable!

    Anyone else got any others?

    Great looking coin, Bob. Gotta love these old talers when they have nice toning!

    @bob13: Great eye appeal on that one! It fits nicely into your collection. I think you did well to jump on it immediately.

    I just recently purchased a Saxe-Weimar taler myself. It is a "death taler" from 1662. It is not necessarily in my core German/Austrian States bishopric core area, but the design checks off all the required boxes for me. I like unique designs that have a story to tell. It is said that Wilhelm IV himself designed this before his death, as was the case with the other Saxe-Weimar talers struck during his time.

    Oh brother(s), that’s a lot of siblings on a single coin! Bob, that’s a great example of a wonderful coin. I may need to expand my brothers count above the 3 found on the Thaler I acquired earlier this year (from you!). That design is just super.
