That thaler is from before the consolidation of the German empire, and is also a commemorative piece. Thus the unusual reverse instead of that familiar eagle motif that becomes ubiquitous later on. Here is some more info on 1854 thalers from CoinFacts: http://www.coinfactswiki.com/wiki/S...aler_Dav-880

My Large cents are a little scruffy, so I thought I'd share a scruffy quarter. Most of my coins from this era came from the melt bucket. Some might suggest that they go back. But I like them.
