The marking for Peter Paul Werner can be found under the bust. The engraving mark he used was PP Werner. The marking for Carl Gottieb Laufer can be found on the reverse under the Coat of Arms. His engraving mark is CGL. These two engravers worked together on all the 1746 ½ Talers, Talers and 2 Taler coinage. They also worked together on the 1746 Ducats.

<< <i>That is one attractive piece. 700 minted - imagine what an equivalent US coin would cost.
Great stuff! >>
Now all I need to do is find the 2Taler to go with it. That will not be to easy to find in high grade though, as think its mintage is under 100 Pieces.
