This specimen was lot 24241 in Heritage sale 3020 (Long Beach, September 2012), where it sold for $3,055. The catalog description[1] noted, "Matthias Taler 1620-KB, MS62 NGC, Kremnitz mint. Magnificent deep bluish gray toning with strong underlying luster. Coins of Matthias are scarce in all grades, and it would be expected for one this choice to command a strong bid. Matthias died in 1619, thus this Taler was struck posthumously." Hungary in 1620 was partitioned between the Austrians and the Turks and was not part of the Empire. This type was struck 1617-20. Another thaler, Dav-3129, is more common for 1620.
Recorded mintage: unknown but scarce.
Specification: silver.
Catalog reference: Dav-3056, KM 59.
