These arrived today. Both conditionally uncommon. Seller's images. The Kronentaler is notorious for adjustment marks and weaker strikes. Note the crispness of the strike showing the 3 crowns. The Joseph II is scarcer and seldom seen in such condition.

1793-M. Italian States. Holy Roman Emperor Francis II (1792-1806) Croccione (Kronentaler). Milan Mint. DAV-1390. KM-C59.1. Flawless strike, lustrous without the commonly found adjustment marks. Reverse crowns are impeccable in detail. NGC MS-64.

1766-F. Austria. Joseph II (1765-1780) Taler, as Co-Regent. DAV-1164. Eypeltauer 821. Herinek 100. Issued during the reign of Joseph II's mothr, Maria Theresia as empress where he served as Co-Regent until hear death in 1780. Conditionally scarce. NGC MS-64

the 1766 Taler is an exquisite piece, the crisp details, and fab EA make it a big like for me!

Congrats, Zohar. Interesting that the Milan mint had terrible quality control issues until the Austrians came in. One thing is certainly true: the Habsburgs contributed a lot to coinage.
