Outside of my immediate focus yet haven't seen this type before. I also like the date.

1776-BN. Taler. Opening of the Bridge at Hausen.
Obv: Nereid reclining at left holding bridge, Franconia standing at center, leaning on shield, radiant All-Seeing Eye above, river-god seated on barrel pouring water at right, holding paddle. Rev: AD/NORMAM/CONVEN/TIONIS within wreath clasped by a row of turrets.

Very attractive, Zohar. I guess you're no longer "officially" broke.

You better believe it.

This came from the emergency fund. As noted, I never knew this type existed and figured it makes to grab it. Auction results for this type in Europe are relatively thin.
