Got this on NEN. I really like it and consider it one of the better pieces in the set. Lovely colors and details. Very solid MS-62 in my view.

well graded actually Z - that's a tuff one to grade overall - regardless you picked up a great example and you rock the boat again!

Very intricate detail on the crown and feathers on reverse. Pretty good technology in the earlier part of the 17th century.

Leopold is now with his buddies in the bank vault yet this image is nice to look at.

Fantastic eye appeal. Amazing detail and it's a double taler. I love those! This is the kind of coin that can create an interest in a new series. Or is it just me?

While I've resisted the urge to buy one, being way outside of my core interests, I nonetheless have always liked the reverse of these coins. They're heavy so raw examples have a nice "feel" to them as well. Congrats on a very pretty example!
