Krause doesn't have any numbers for Proof coinage of this large medallic Double Taler of Wurttemberg for the Ulm Cathedral Restoration. Despite of this you can see occasionally on auctions proof or proof-like specimens which are always extra-popular in-between collectors because of the unique medallic design. You can see on our coin amazing small details of the Cathedral which is a signature of the coins of this type. Sparkling-mirrored fields carrying some amount of hairlines from wiping at the past, touch of pale champagne toning as well as frosty cameo design - you definitely will appreciate the appearance of this coin! Great collectible and investment item as always!
