PCGS PR 61 - PP/PROOF
Popular on auctions and in-between collectors "Victory Taler" of Wilhelm I of Prussia (1861-1888). With heavy presence of those medallic talers in MS there are still pretty rare to find one in PROOF - the population is still low as well as exact mintage number is unknown. We are offering one with sparkling mirrored fields, sharp detail of the design and gorgeous proof appearance. Some hairlines in the field probably determine the grade - PR 61 per PCGS. Great collectible coin from all perspectives! !
