Popular Commemorative and One-Year issued Taler of George V of Hannover (1851-1866) - for the Fiftieth Anniversary of the Waterloo Battle in 1865 - this coin is well-known as a "pension payment" for the veterans. This particular coin has sparkly mirrored fields, proof-like features, sharp strike and very appealing appearance. Some excessive contact marks and hairlines in the fields determine the grade - MS 62 PL by NGC. Great and popular collectible!!
