Schwarzenberg Taler

I had been looking for a decent example of a Schwarzenberg coin for my 17th century German States collection. Came across this example won in a recent auction.

    Great portraits with great hair! The royals of that era certainly did love their hair.

    All glory is fleeting.
  • One of my favorite Talers, congrats!

    I like it

    I manage money. I earn money. I save money .
    I give away money. I collect money.
    I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.

    You don't want to have what he probably had that prompted the wearing of the periwig. Hopefully fashion only,

    Can’t you see who she’s married to? Bet she didn’t get to use the mirror until late afternoon. :D

    Q: When does a collector become a numismatist?



    A: The year they spend more on their library than their coin collection.



    A numismatist is judged more on the content of their library than the content of their cabinet.
