City Stampfer Taler ND (c.1560) MS61 NGC, Referred to as a 'Stampfer Taler' after mintmaster Hans Jakob Stampfer, this immense selection appeals to the eye with silvery-white surfaces and well-rendered motifs for the type. Some softness is noted, but the overall nature of this specimen remains bold. From the Redwood Collection, Part II."
