    LN: I agree that this City View Taler has a very attractive design, on both obverse & reverse.

    The listing says it's a Double Taler. I wonder does that mean higher fineness, or larger size? or both? Aren't regular talers already rather large in diameter?

    Both...You ought to seem some of the multiple denomination Thalers that are the size of a saucer. Quite awesome!
