Managed to win this in the Stacks auction while I was out of town last week:

1786 Paderborn 2/3 Taler NGC 63. A 1 year type that is fairly scarce, this the only one graded at NGC or PCGS. St. Liborius seated on clouds, St. Liborius was Bishop of LeMans until 397 AD. In 835 his body was moved to Paderborn because it did not have its own Saint. He was apparently famous for curing gallstones, which was his first miracle after his death.
