A Couple of Talers

Zohar

Two nice pieces arrived.

The first a very common type Archduke Ferdinand piece yet highly lustrous without the typical adjustment marks. The second is an early type, less common, mid-16th century Salzburg piece which has been professionally dipped yet has very strong details for the type.

Beautiful as usual. You are right about the dip but it is still a tough early Salzburg piece.

Very nice.

My D-8097 looks quite a bit different from yours, different enough that I'd consider it a different type. On the Obverse legend of yours, the AE in Austria are separate letters ... on mine, the AE are smaller and joined. Ferdinand's arm is completely different.

On the Reverse, your legend has a joined AE after GVNDI ... mine is just an E. The crown on mine has dots to the left and right of the + at the top.

Are these different types (or varieties) documented anywhere?

Zohar

PBRat - these are very nicely documented in Davenport's book by type yet if you wish to dive into the die level varieties there are specialty books - Moser/Tursky and Voglhuber which cover each die variety

Nice Talers, Z! I'm surprised you're still steadily able to find quality material to add to the set.

Zohar

Thanks Roman. I keep looking. Also had to part from a few to continue to fund these. I have a few more I am selling off to support the buildup.

Amazing coins! They make one wonder how they've been preserved for all these years.

Nice finds as always, Zohar!

I particularly like the heraldry and well struck details of that Ferdinand piece.
