Brilliant uncirculated, cartwheel luster, shiny fields - this Vereinsthaler of Free City Frankfurt-am-Main are competing for the top quality collectibles! Rare 2-year issues with Franconia on obverse and one-headed Eagle on reverse! Beautiful medallic design! Some excessive contact marks on obverse fields determined the grade - MS 63 by PCGS. Great collectible and investment coin!!
