    Sid, the coins are tremendously impressive! I'm so glad you have the desire to collect Talers; they are really awesome coins, especially with such nice artistic renditions on them. Please show us gluttons some more, when you have time.

    Thank you very much!!!

    By the way, do you know what the counterpunch is on the second Taler?

    Of course the 2 counterstamp designates the denomination, ie 2 Talers.

    Was the counterstamp an afterthought (i.e. "oops, we forgot the denomination!")?

    Now I know ,why I'd never been attracted by hammered coins: because I'd never seen any in such conditions (let alone the renditions)!

    Superb!

    Fantastic coins image I've seen a few of them myself, but not in my own collection, I'm afraid... image

    We have a few of them in Denmark, minted by Danish kings, but they are very expensive and hard to find. The German ones are more common. I suppose such coins never saw much circulation. They must have been made for presentation purposes and for savings.
