Purchased on 7/19/2012 from fellow board member and Taler guru Zo444.
This obverse shows Grand Master Archduke Maximilian III of Austria (1590-1618) standing between an Austrian shield and helmet. He is wearing his trademark archducal hat, which remains a relic of great importance currently housed in the Klosterneuburg Monastery in Austria. The reverse features an armored Knight encircled by 14 smaller shields and a large shield of the Order, domiciled at Mergentheim, Württemberg. This is a beautiful example of a 400+ year old Taler, and a highlight of my horses themed collection.
DAV 5848. MT-366 / Neumann 108
