Austria 1610 thaler Dav-3007
This specimen was lot 27390 in Heritage sale 3031 (Dallas, January 2014), where it did not sell. The catalog description[1] noted, "Rudolf II Taler 1610, MS62 NGC. Hall mint issue. Silvery toning with strong underlying luster. A great looking early Taler. Rudolf's Talers in mint state are seldom encountered."
