Always wanted a Wildman Taler. These generally come having a weak strike and wear. I found this one which has amazing detail for the type. Note the fur covering the wildman and the hair detail. Reverse is less pronounced. Clearly dipped at some point yet works for me as a representative 17th century piece.

That particular wild man has a much more expressive face than I'm used to seeing.

I've never seen so much detail on a Wildman. Very nice.

Great coin , Zohar . I like the motto surrounding the Wildman : Everything with prudence
