A simply amazing coin. Impressive design.
Lovely design elements on both sides and what appears to be frosty devices on obverse. Another great find, Z!
Pictures make it look like a proof strike.
I can't say I have seen that issue before - I like it. It has a nice classical taler design with a clean modern presentation. It certainly belongs in the set.
