Zohar444 Pillar of the Community United States 1429 Posts	Posted 12/02/2008 11:11 pm It amazes me how well cities were captured in 16-18th century European Talers. I put together a nice sample capturing various cities. These are not owned by me, yet Salzburg: Regensburg: Augsburg: Nurnberg: Westphalia (Munster): Report this Post to the Staff

wcg Valued Member United States 217 Posts	Posted 12/02/2008 11:41 pm I couldn't agree more Zohar. I think cityviews are an amazing window into history. It is particularly interesting to see historical buildings that are represented in german/austrian city state scenes still standing in their original historical context. This 1781 taler from Eichstatt was interesting because it took a slightly different cityview approach with its aerial 3D view. Another Nurnberg example Edited by wcg 12/20/2008 12:08 am Report this Post to the Staff
wcg Valued Member United States 217 Posts	Posted 12/02/2008 11:45 pm The Swiss coins of the same period also should not be ignored. Here is a Zurich taler from 1722. Edited by wcg 12/20/2008 12:06 am Report this Post to the Staff

Just click on the world coin archives and type in 'city view' and hundreds of examples from auctions over the last 8 years are searchable. A few stunners that jumped out at me when I did a search: Constance (Germany) Basel (Switzerland) Passau (Germany) Report this Post to the Staff
