I am actually in Munich after visiting Salzburg and the Tyrol region (will do a separate write up). This is the old write up which Photobucket messed up but will give you an idea as to the cathedral motif - https://forums.collectors.com/discussion/830776/a-day-in-salzburg-austria

I like the look of the coin and the pedigree - I bid this from my cell sitting in a local coffee shop and was ready to bid it up.

AUSTRIA. Salzburg. 1/2 Taler, 1628. Paris von Lodron. PCGS MS-65 Gold Shield. KM-141. Struck to commemorate the consecration of the Salzburg Cathedral. Needle sharp strike showing all of the fine detail. A great piece with an even dark tone and a strong underlying luster.

Provenance: Ex: V. Brand Collection.



Here is the full cathedral Taler I own.

    An outstanding companion piece for your fantastic looking Taler.
    Chilling out in Munich, sipping latte's and buying Cathedral Talers over the Internet with a cell phone. That's cool. B)

    How did a large coin that is almost 400 years old manage to stay in that nice a condition for all that time? I wonder how many collections it has passed through?

    Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
