There are NO proof mintage for this type of the Thaler of Wilhelm I of Prussia (1861-1888), 1861 - first, "transitional" year. Deep cameo, mirrored fields with dark smoky toning - spectacular and RARE specimen for ANY German coin collectors!! Sparkling pristine reverse, some single hairlines on obverse - graded as PR 63 CAM per PCGS. Rare collectible coin from ANY perspective!
