Sincona sale 43, lot 2615

This specimen was lot 2615 in Sincona sale 43 (Zürich, October 2017), where it sold for 425 CHF (about US$507 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

"Osterreich, Matthias, (1608-)1612-1619 Taler 1611. Wien. Fast sehr schön. Leichter Doppelschlag. NGC VF25. (Holy Roman Empire, Matthias I, 1612-19, thaler of 1611, Vienna mint. About very fine, Double struck.)"

This product of the Vienna mint was struck 1611-12 and is rather scarce. It was issued just before Matthias was crowned emperor. It is very similar to Dav-3039 but with a slightly different escutcheon on the reverse.

Recorded mintage: unknown.

Specification: silver, this specimen: 28.33 g.

Catalog reference: MzA 97, Dav-3040, KM 130.
