That is a beautiful coin. I want one  . Those coins from that era had some wonderful designs, If I only had the money  . |

I would say the word 'rare' is appropriate on this piece. I think that rare is a term used too often in numismatics, but how else could you describe something with a mintage of 800 over 200 years ago?
Stunning piece Zohar. In particular, I like the toning around the letters - great originality.

Very nice coin--tooling and die work of the Austrian Talers was probably the best of any mint at the time.  |

A coin like that makes you wonder why pieces as nice can't be minted nearly 300 years later. Is that coin or medal rotation?

Taler (coin). I agree and this is why I am selling all my contemporary stuff.

Oops, I don't think I was explicit enough. I was wondering if the dies were aligned in a medal alignment or coin alignment.
