Just won this Saxony Taler, although you'd think it would be an easy coin it's actually very hard to find in higher than EF grades. An 1854 Dresden mint commemorating the death of Friedrich August II on Aug. 9 1854. This one is raw, currently the finest graded ATS is an AU55 and I am hoping this one is AU50 or so. It's KM 1180.1 with a mintage of 16,000, I particularly like the images of Justice and Liberty on the reverse. Friedrich granted quite a number of liberties to the people early in his reign, he died when he apparantly fell in front of a horse and it stepped on his head. The auctioneers pics.
