It is interesting that even with known minting in Proof it is almost non possible to see this "Shooting" Taler in Proof or Proof-like grade on ANY auctions - only single specimens occasionally appears about once an year. It is even more strange that MS population of this particular taler is very generous and large mass of uncirculated and lustrous coins are available on market around the world. We are lucky to offer one graded as PR 64 CAMEO by PCGS. Touch of bluish hue as a signature this unique specimen - you can see it better on obverse sparkling fields. Gorgeous patina with touch of gold at the edges finishes attractive appearance of this highly collectible coin! Check out the pictures and send me your offers!
