NEWPs: Paar, Olmutz and Karlsburg Talers

Have been a bit on a tear of recent. These are later 18th, early-mid 19th century pieces which are quite tough. The first, in particular, is seldom seen.

1794. Paar. Austria. Johann Wenzel (1744 - 1812) Half Convention Taler. Vienna Mint. Holzmair 72. Mont. 2951. Very scarce piece in any grade. Seems like a very early strike with a fabulous reverse. Mintage of 400. Scarce.
