Madonna & Child Theme

Zohar

These designs are simply beautiful IMO. Thought I would parade a few Austrian and Hungarian half and full Talers of this type.

Beautiful coins as always!

Indeed a popular theme in European 17th and 18th century. I haven't had any new stuff to post lately so here are some previously shared pieces on the same theme.

Zohar

#2 and 3 are particularly stunning!

Some great coins and medals there, Zohar and worldcoinguy! I've always been partial to those baroque Salzburg pieces.

Uh, uh, uh, . . . Forget it. I am speechless.

I do like the Madonna and child pieces, all of mine are German though, this one is an early Bavaria Taler.



And a later version from Bavaria:

Hyperion

OK, I got to get into this thread:

Zohar

One earlier type. 1698-IBM. Genoa. Republic Scudo. DAV-3901.

I have some cute little denars with the Madonna and Child, with early 1500s dates, but alas, no pictures of 'em at present.

PBRat

A couple of mine ...

1869 Bavaria Thaler


1855 Bavaria 2 Gulden (need to get a better pic)

Zohar

Why not... a couple more...

lordmarcovan

I love that last one, and like how the square frame around the small Madonna portrait on the reverse is incorporated into the design.

Zohar

I do too - that is why I bought two of the same. The lower one (which will be reimaged) is from the Millennia Collection. MS-63PL.

"Parade" and "gloat" seem to be interchangeable in their use here.

The first and last are my favorites. The first for the bluish toning even if darker than ideal and the last for the lighter more even toning. Awesome stuff.
