The accidental collector- German Newp

As some of you know I really collect British, more specifically Copper and Bronze and the odd shilling for my type set. About a year or so ago I saw a neat looking German piece and thought to myself, it doesn't really fit my collecting but it sure is pretty. So that started me on a long painful slide into almost collecting German coins. I started with some 20th C. 2 and 3 Mark commemorative pieces, then discovered that some of the 19th C. pieces had really interesting designs. Now I've discovered 18th C. German can be even more interesting.
1735 1/12 Taler from Brandenburg Bayreuth. This one commemorates the Death of Georg Friedrich Karl, Margrave from 1726-1735. I quite like the design of the dove leaving earth and traveling toward the sun. This one in an NGC 62 holder.
