    Wow - amazing detail to start with, and then somehow preserved in perfect condition! Do you know anything of the provenance?

    @Bob13's provenance question is the same thing that ran through my head. Something tells me this was part of a notable collection at one point in time. The sharpness of the details is outstanding. This taler has it all - design, strike, patina, originality..... the list goes on.

    I am usually so late to viewing and oohing and aahing over Zohar's acquisitions that I feel it's unnecessary to comment, but this one is an exception. Well done, Zohar!
