Leopold "The Hogmouth" 2 Taler Set

I recently had a "once in a lifetime" opportunity to get my hands on three desired Austrian Leopold "The Hogmouth" 2 Taler varieties, in high grades. I was able to trade up lower grade pieces, while supplementing my growing collection with missing types. I feel fulfilled:

Austria Leopold I (1657-1705) The Hogmouth 2 Taler NGC AU-55, DAV-3247

Austria Leopold I (1657-1705) The Hogmouth 2 Taler NGC MS-62, DAV-3249
image

Austria Leopold I (1657-1705) The Hogmouth 2 Taler NGC MS-62, DAV-3250

These 3 augmented my other graded piece:

Leopold I Tyrolis (1680-1696) The Hogmouth ND 2 Taler NGC XF-40, DAV-3251

    I've never seen one for real and up close. Just the single talers. The multiples are so rare!

    Congratulations!
